Start a Team. Become an NLSA USA Affiliate.

What is an Affiliate Team?

An Affiliate Team is an independently operated sports team officially licensed to represent the National Local Sports Association USA (NLSA USA) in their local city or region.

This is not a franchise. There are no royalties, no mandatory playbooks, and no corporate overhead.

Affiliates pay a flat fee, gain access to league branding, and can participate in official games, events, and promotions.

  • Use of NLSA USA name, logo, and team branding materials
  • Placement in official league events, tournaments, and championship brackets
  • Featured listing on NLSA USA’s website
  • Social media promotion
  • Access to team templates (uniforms, logos, marketing)
  • Option to apply for franchise status in the future

How It Works

  • Submit your application with your team concept and location
  • Pay the flat annual affiliation fee
  • Receive branding package and guidelines
  • Participate in league games and promotions
