Todd Tryon was named the fourth commissioner of the Indoor Football League (IFL) on October 10, 2019. He presides over America’s longest-running indoor football league, overseeing all administrative and operational aspects while focusing on franchise stability, revenue growth, and national expansion.
 
Under Tryon’s leadership, the IFL has experienced remarkable growth over the past two seasons, highlighted by record-setting partnership and sponsorship revenue and the addition of several new strategic corporate alliances. His tenure has also been defined by the league’s continued rise in national visibility — including a national broadcast partnership with CBS Sports Network to televise the IFL National Championship Game, solidifying the league’s standing as the premier platform for the sport.
 
A veteran of more than 20 years in indoor football, Tryon’s journey spans every facet of the game — player, coach, owner, and now commissioner. He played for the Sioux Falls Storm from 2000–2004, then served as an assistant coach from 2005–2008, helping lead the team to four straight United Bowl championships. In 2010, he purchased the Storm and operated it for a decade, during which the franchise captured a league-record seven United Bowls, including six consecutive titles, and compiled a 126–18 regular season record under his ownership.
 
Since taking over league leadership, Tryon has modernized league operations, expanded the IFL’s media presence, and executed a comprehensive rights agreement aimed at developing national sponsorships, licensing programs, and digital assets. With the league now enjoying its strongest financial footing in history, 2026 is poised to deliver the most significant advancement the IFL has ever seen, ushering in a new era of national exposure and professional growth.
 
Tryon graduated from Buena Vista University with a degree in Sports Management and Business, where he played football, baseball, and golf. He and his wife, Wendy, reside in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and have three children: Tytan, Jersy, and Lyncoln.
