Founded in 2006, the Utah Gay Football League is a 501(c)(3) flag football league that seeks to promote the positive social and athletic enjoyment of American Flag Football. Through our league, our events and most importantly our players, we also seek to foster and augment the self-respect of all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons and to promote respect and understanding from the larger community.
While particular emphasis is placed on these specific goals, it is a fundamental principle of the UGFL that all activities, social and athletic, are conducted to be inclusive in nature and that no individual shall be excluded from participating on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, political beliefs, athletic ability, physical challenge, HIV status or gender identity.

Being a part of the UGFL is not only about enjoying flag football but also to encourage community and camaraderie, to be active participants in the Salt Lake Metro community, and to serve as examples for the next generation of LGBTQ+ youth, inspiring acceptance, pride, and self-confidence. We play to build bridges and break down stereotypes within and beyond our own community by creating a uniquely welcoming environment to play recreational flag football with integrity and sportsmanship.

Utah Gay Football League: Spring 2024 Flag Football season
Season Details:
The 2025 Spring season will take place at Sugarhouse Park. All games will be played on the baseball diamond field near the Mount Olympus Pavillion on the South edge of the park. The same fields we used last year. (see map)
Teams are drafted by Captains & a competition committee. We strive for balanced teams to ensure players of all skill levels are included & have fun while allowing them to meet & play with new people.
4/10 is the new player orientation & rules clinic. - Specifically designed for 1st & second year players to learn the basics & rules while working on their skills during drills & scrimmage events. Come ready to play (bring cleats, water, athletic clothes, etc.)
4/17 is the open play (scrimmages) for ALL interested players. This is the last event before the Draft and where you can meet the captains.
Draft & draft party are 4/19 @Milk+. Come meet your team! More details on that soon!
4/24 is the first week of games.
The season consists of 10 weeks of play including playoffs. One game per week. after the first 3 games of "pod play" players may be reshuffled/transferred to a new team to ensure fair & balanced teams. The remaining games will be used for playoff seeding. Games consist of two 25-minute halves with a rolling clock. We use the NGFFL rulebook which can be found here. Services 1 — NGFFL
