The Continental Football League redefines the fourth quarter with The Continental Shift—a bold fusion of American and Canadian rules featuring three downs, waggle motion, and the Rouge. Fast, unpredictable, and historic, it’s football’s next evolution: Three quarters of tradition. One quarter of revolution.

When the Continental Football League (CoFL) was reintroduced earlier this year, one of its central promises was to bring football back to the communities that live and breathe the game, but often go overlooked by the NFL. Today, that promise takes another step forward with the announcement of the Texas Syndicate, the newest member of the CoFL and the first official franchise in the league’s Southern Division.
