How Season 1 of the Viscose Football League is structured — from the number of clubs to the points that decide the title.
The headline numbers behind the league. Simple, competitive, and built for a full season.
Twelve franchise clubs make up the league, each owned and built by a founding owner.
All squads are assembled through a single live auction where owners bid for registered players.
Matches kick off in the first week of August with the full league schedule underway.
Every club competes through the schedule for the inaugural VFL Season 1 championship.
How clubs climb the table across the season.
| Result | Description | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Win | Three points awarded for a victory in regulation | 3 |
| Draw | One point each when scores are level at full time | 1 |
| Loss | No points awarded for a defeat | 0 |
Tie-breakers (goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head) are confirmed by the league before the season begins.
The core rules every club and player agrees to for Season 1. Full details are shared with owners and registered players before kickoff.
Each franchise builds its squad through the live auction. Rosters must meet the minimum squad size set by the league before opening matchday.
Matches are played in the standard league format with two halves. Exact match length and substitution rules are confirmed to owners before kickoff.
Only registered players in the official auction pool are eligible to be drafted and to take the field in Season 1 fixtures.
Standard cards apply. Repeated or serious offences carry suspensions, enforced by the league across the remainder of the season.
All clubs compete under the same rules and budget framework at auction. No outside transfers once the season schedule begins.
All 12 clubs feature in the published schedule. Fixtures, venues and timings are shared with owners, players and ticket-holders ahead of matchday.
