AFI | American Football | 07/17/2026

The European Football Alliance heads into its final weekend before the league-wide bye with three intriguing matchups on tap. With two regular-season rounds still to be played after the break, every game carries significance as teams continue battling for playoff positioning and the remaining postseason spots ahead of the playoffs beginning on August 15.

Saturday, July 18

Nordic Storm (6-1) at Paris Musketeers (3-4)

The Nordic Storm travel to Paris looking to build on last week’s victory over the Raiders Tirol, which improved their record to 6-1 after suffering their first loss of the season the previous week. The Musketeers will be looking to avenge a 42-17 loss to the Storm earlier this season while strengthening their playoff position heading into the league-wide bye.

Raiders Tirol (0-7) at Frankfurt Galaxy (3-4)

The Frankfurt Galaxy return home looking to bounce back after suffering a lopsided 38-5 loss to the unbeaten Munich Ravens last week, a defeat that snapped the club’s two-game winning streak. The winless Raiders Tirol are still searching for their first victory of the season after falling 43-14 to the Galaxy in the first meeting between the two teams.

Sunday, July 19

Munich Ravens (7-0) at Prague Lions (2-5)

The undefeated Munich Ravens head to Prague looking to improve to 8-0 and continue their march toward the postseason. The Prague Lions enter the matchup on a two-game winning streak after edging the Paris Musketeers 36-35 last week and will be looking to pull off the biggest upset of the EFA season against the league’s lone unbeaten team.
