The 2022 LFA season is the seventh season of operation (sixth season of play) of the Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional (LFA), the top American football league in Mexico. The regular season began on March 4 and it will conclude on April 24, with the playoffs beginning on April 30 and ending with the Tazón México V on May 15.[1]

Preseason events[]

Expansion[]

Two new teams joined the league for the 2021 season: Galgos de Tijuana, based in Tijuana, and Reyes de Jalisco, based in Zapopan, Jalisco.[2][3] The league also lost one team, Osos Toluca, that folded in January 2021.[4] With these changes, the 2022 season will be contested by seven teams and, unlike the previous seasons, the league will not be divided into two divisions.

Condors originally relocated to Querétaro City and changed its name to Condors de Querétaro. On 3 February 2022, the team was rebranded as Gallos Negros de Querétaro. Following the rebrand, the league considers Gallos Negros as a new franchise that will begin competing in the 2022 season.[5][6]
