The RPFL is a professional football league that provides adult football players with a platform to gain more experience while attaining great quality game film that can be used to market them to the NFL and CFL. The Rivals Professional Football League Draft is an annual event where RPFL teams select eligible football players that have attended an RPFL tryout. RPFL tryouts are our only source of player recruitment. The basic design of the draft is that each team is given a position in the drafting order in reverse order relative to its record in the previous season, which means that the last place team is positioned first. From this position, the team can either select a player or trade their position to another team for other draft positions, a player or players, or any combination thereof.

The 2023 RPFL draft will consist of 40 rounds with each team making 1 selection per round. To be draft eligible the prospect must be 18 years of age and have attended a tryout. We require prospects to attend a tryout for them to be draft eligible to create a fair chance for each team to have an equal opportunity at drafting each player.

All players invited to the 2023 RPFL Draft will be drafted and offered a 1 year $592,000 performance-based incentive contract with a possibility of guaranteed money in the form of a base salary, signing bonus and or roster bonus.

The 2023 RPFL Draft will be a red carpet event, please wear proper attire. All players that attend the draft will receive their team welcome letter and contract immediately after being drafted.
