SALEM, OR - Coming off an incredible Season 32, it's time to gear up for what promises to be our strongest and most competitive campaign yet. Last season saw dominant performances, tight playoff races, and wild card upsets - the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears battled all the way to 2K OLF Super Bowl XXXII, proving no lead is safe and every game counts. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, and others all made noise in the postseason, showing us just how deep the talent runs.
Now, Season 33 starts tonight, and we’re calling all old and new coaches to join the fight. Whether you're returning with something to prove or stepping into the league for the first time, this season is for you.
