The 2020 The Spring League Fall season was the first Fall season, and the fifth overall in league history, which was played in San Antonio, Texas. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the league conducted the season in a Bio-secure bubble.
The Spring League (TSL) began its fall season on Oct 27 with six teams competing in a 12-game format over four weeks in a bubble environment, based out of the San Antonio Alamodome. The concept was first conceived as a partnership with Canadian Football League (CFL) for proposed September return in abbreviated season.[1][2] Fox Sports 1 aired games on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The league stated that this time the players did not pay to attend,[3] but Spring League CEO Brian Woods later explained that some players did pay, while select others did not.[4]
In November 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, TSL announced that the league would be cancelling the final week of the season. The top two teams met in the final on December 15, at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The Generals beat the Aviators 37–14, and won the first TSL championship.[5][6][7]
