The Massachusetts Pirates are a professional indoor football team based in the Greater Boston area that competes in the Indoor Football League (IFL). The team plays its home games at Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts. [1] The Pirates began play in the 2018 season as a member of the National Arena League (NAL).
The league has operated continuously under the same name and corporate structure longer than any other current indoor football league. With the closure of the original Arena Football League in 2019, the IFL is the oldest active professional indoor football league in North America, and can trace its history to 2003 (as the Intense Football League).
