We look forward to announcing more details on the structure of the HOFL and its rules in the coming months.”
In addition to the standard trivia format, the show offers fans the chance to take part in a season-long “Start/Sit Fantasy Pick ‘Em Pool” contest in which participants are provided with two or more NFL players in a given week and must select the player they think will score more fantasy points.

While the Hall Of Trivia format is primarily focused around its trivia portion, the show also contains various segments devoted to providing analysis and commentary around all of the week’s football and fantasy action. Notably, the show has featured Hall of Famers Curtis Martin and Anthony Muñoz, and plans to continue incorporating more football legends into its programming throughout the course of the season.
“Trivia is a huge part of the experience for so many sports fans,” said Eisenband. “Whether it’s arguing at the bar or texting friends in a group thread, sports enthusiasts are always debating history and facts. With Hall Of Trivia, we are challenging football fans to see how much they really know about the game they love. And considering that so many people are stuck at home looking for some joy in their lives during the pandemic , we hope we can bring them a few minutes of fun – and maybe some extra cash – on Thursday nights!”
The HOFL is the first community-backed national fantasy league. Launching with 10 regionally based franchises in key U.S. markets, HOFL teams will be managed by a dedicated front office of fantasy experts and former NFL players. Participation in the league will come in the form of staking which will allow the public to financially back individual teams, become team stakeholders, and gain access to exclusive content, communications, and team governance features. The HOFL’s inaugural draft is expected to take place in summer of 2021 and its first season will commence alongside the 2021-22 NFL season. For more information visit www.thehofl.com.
