The Empire Football League (EFL) is a semi-professional American football league that operates franchises based primarily in New York and Pennsylvania. The league has been in existence since 1969.
Since 1969, there have been many franchises that have come and gone and have existed in many other locations besides New York and Pennsylvania, including Vermont, Connecticut, Quebec, and Ontario.
The league attempts to promote football at an amateur level and does help to prepare players who desire to play organized Football at a national or international level. The league's most dominant team has been the Scranton Eagles who have won a record 11 championships.

- As of late the EFL has fallen on hard times. Following the 2004 season the Champion Glens Falls Greenjackets left wanting a more competitive environment. Following the 2006 season the champion Albany Metro Mallers followed the former Champs to the NAFL. Following the 2007 the runner-up Watertown Red & Black have left and joined the Northeast Football Alliance leaving the EFL with only 7 members.
