The EFLI was founded in mid-2011 and publicly announced on 5 August 2011 in Mumbai. The aim of the league is to introduce American football to the Indian market and its large consumer base. The organisation's management team consists of both United States and Indian business and entertainment executives as well as several United States sports figures. U.S. brand marketing consultant Sunday Zeller is noted as the founder.〔()〕
Prominent investors include Brandon Chillar an Indian American linebacker from the Super Bowl-winning Green Bay Packers who played eight games that 2010 season until an injury put him on the injured reserve list, Super Bowl-winning head coach Mike Ditka, former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin, and former NFL quarterbacks Ron Jaworski and Kurt Warner. Investors outside of the sports community include U.S. actor and entertainment producer Mark Wahlberg.
The first regular season games began 22 September 2012. EFLI games are broadcast on television in India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, as well as in the Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Japan on Ten Sports. This will represent a potential audience of over 500 million viewers.
