Welcome
to the Metro Football League (MFL) – a fully fictional league designed
for Pro Strategy Football (PSF) 2025. The MFL has teams from imaginary
cities with custom helmets, uniforms, stadiums, and field art. You can download
everything you need to jump into this league right here, including the
league file. Don't forget to grab the PSF simulator from the links section. Have fun!
24 Fictional Teams
& League Structure
This
fictional league has 12 teams per conference and no divisions, which
works great for my favorite 11-game round-robin schedule. You can play
it as is or change things up. Just remember, if you change the league
setup, you’ll need a matching schedule (PSF has lots, or you can make
your own). For help with custom schedules, check out the tutorial on my
'Links' page. Here are the 24 teams in the MFL...

Stadiums & Fields
All teams have their own fictional
stadiums, each tailored to capture the unique vibe of the home team,
making every game more fun and immersive!
Custom Uniforms
Every
fictional team sports its own unique uniform set, including home, road,
and long sleeve jerseys for those chilly games. Check out the downloads section for my stock sets and tons of extra fictional teams you can add to the game!
Game Schedules
On the downloads page, you’ll find two schedule options:
11-Game Round Robin: Every team plays each
other once within their conference. No cross-conference games until the
playoffs or the Metro Bowl—unless you get creative with custom brackets
like I do. There are six custom schedules to rotate each season,
ensuring teams swap home and away games. 13-Game Mixed:
Teams play everyone in their conference and two teams from the other.
With twelve custom schedules available, you can rotate them each
season, giving every team a chance to host and visit their
cross-conference rivals.
Short, sweet, and ready to download!
