In 2014, the IFAF Europe Champions League was formed in the same year the BIG6 European Football League initiated. The current format involves 12 teams from Europe. The Group Stage format borrowed from the IFAF World Championship while the final Four format came from the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. From 2017 only 5 teams participate.[1]
