IFL Coaches Poll: Week 1

The first Coaches Poll of the 2026 season has been released, setting the early tone across the Indoor Football League.

March 18, 2026

The Green Bay Blizzard open the year at No. 1 following a strong Week 1 victory over the defending champion Vegas Knight Hawks, immediately establishing themselves as an early team to beat. Just behind them, the Fishers Freightcheck in at No. 2 after an impressive season-opening performance.

The San Diego Strike Force (3) and Orlando Pirates (4) enter the season with high expectations, while the Vegas Knight Hawks round out the top five as they look to bounce back and defend their title.

With the season now underway, the rankings are set — but movement is sure to come as teams continue to make their case each week.
