The Jacksonville Breeze were a team in the Legends Football League based in Jacksonville, Florida. They played their home games at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.

The team originated as the Tampa Breeze in 2009, the inaugural year for what was then the Lingerie Football League. They played their home games at Tampa Bay Times Forum in downtown Tampa, Florida. They relocated to Jacksonville in September 2012. Most of the team's players were recruited from the pool of local athletes.[1][2]

At the January 27, 2015 State of the League address, the LFL stated that the Breeze would be suspending operations for an unspecified amount of time, with plans to relaunch in another Florida market within the next three years.[3]
