During the 1972 season, after the folding of the Atlantic Coast Football League, the Seaboard Football League was the second-highest ranking professional football league in the United States, behind only the NFL. It dropped after the Hartford Knights left for a revived ACFL and the league picked up teams from the semi-pro Empire Football League for play in 1973, before folding. The league was founded with eight teams in 1971, five of which came from the Interstate Football League, two from the Mason-Dixon Football League, and one independent. The teams played a 14 game season, with all games taking place on Saturday nights. In 1972, the Hartford Knights of the ACFL joined the league , going undefeated and winning the championship then returned to the ACFL for its 1973 season. The Seaboard League again had 8 franchises, but played a ten game season. After the ACFL folded, Bridgeport Jets and the New England Colonials played joined the Seaboard League, which fielded six teams in a shortened 1974 season.
