The IP address or range 52.206.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

The {{nihongo|'''Japan Football League'''|日本フットボールリーグ| Nihon Futtobōru Rīgu|lead=yes}}, also known as simply the '''JFL''', is the 4th tier of the [[Japanese association football league system]], positioned beneath the three divisions of the [[J.League]]. The league features fully professional teams that hold [[J.League 100 Year Plan club status|J.League associate membership]] among its ranks.

==Relationship and position of J. League and Japan Football League (JFL)==
According to the official document published in December 2013 when the [[J3 League]] was established, the J3 League was the 3rd level of the [[J.League]]. The J.League and non-J.League amateur leagues have different hierarchical structures, and the J3 League was ranked on the same level as the JFL.  In addition, the JFL itself has the same recognition in the material showing the league composition on the official website.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jfl.or.jp/jfl-pc/view/s.php?a=1691|title=リーグ構成|publisher=Japan Football League|access-date=4 February 2021}}</ref> Therefore, the JFL is treated as equal to J3 in theory, but in practice it is considered equivalent to a 4th division.

==History==
The Japan Football League started from the [[1999 Japan Football League|1999 season]] when the second division of J.League (J2) was also born. Until then, J.League consisted of only one division and the former JFL was the second highest division. Out of 16 teams who played the last season of the former JFL, 9 decided and were accepted to play in J2 and the other 7 teams as well as [[Tokyo Musashino City FC|Yokogawa Electric]], the winners of the [[Japanese Regional Football League Competition|Regional League Promotion Series]], formed the new Japan Football League. These 8 teams together with [[Yokohama FC]] that was allowed to participate as a special case after the merger of [[Yokohama Flügels]] and [[Yokohama F. Marinos|Yokohama Marinos]] competed in the inaugural 1999 season.

The 9 teams that competed in the first season were as follows: [[FC Kariya|Denso SC]], [[Honda FC|Honda Motors]], [[Jatco SC]], Kokushikan University F.C., [[Mito HollyHock]], [[Tokushima Vortis|Otsuka Pharmaceuticals]], [[Sony Sendai FC|Sony Sendai]],  [[Yokohama FC]] and [[Tokyo Musashino City FC|Yokogawa Electric]].

In the second season the number of clubs was increased from 9 to 12, reaching 16 in 2001. In 2002 it was briefly 18 clubs before going back to 16 the next season and settling for good at 18 in 2006. For the 2012 season it had 17 clubs due to the late withdrawal of [[Arte Takasaki]].

The league suffered another contraction after 2013 season, as 10 of its 18 teams joined the newly created [[J3 League]]. It also moved a tier down the pyramid, making it fourth-tier league since 2014.

Five former JFL clubs have competed in the [[J1 League|top flight]]: [[Yokohama FC]] (2007, 2020, 2021 & 2023), [[Tokushima Vortis|Otsuka Pharmaceuticals]] (2014 & 2021 as Tokushima Vortis), [[Matsumoto Yamaga FC|Matsumoto Yamaga]] (2015 & 2019), [[V-Varen Nagasaki]] (2018) and [[Machida Zelvia]] (2024 — present time).

==Overview==
JFL clubs may be affiliated to [[works team|companies]], or be entirely autonomous clubs or reserve teams of these. Until 2010, university clubs (which as a rule do not play in the Japanese football league system) were recommended by the Japan University Football Association and played off against bottom JFL teams for entrance. B-teams are allowed to participate but only A-squads of truly autonomous clubs are eligible for J.League associate membership, and with it, promotion to J.League.

===Promotion from JFL===
A club that satisfied the following criteria was promoted to J.League Div. 2 (for the 2012 and 2013 seasons):
* Had J.League associate membership
* Finished the season in the top two in JFL
**If '''only the champion''' had been an associate member, it was automatically promoted.
**If '''both the champion and runner-up''' had been associate members, the champion is automatically promoted and the runner-up plays a promotion/relegation series against the second-to-last club in the J2.
**If '''only the runner-up''' had been an associate member, it plays the promotion/relegation series against the last club in the J2.
* Passed the final inspection by the J.League Committee.

With the establishment of the J3 League in the 2014 season, the top 2 requirements are no longer necessary should a team that is approved by J.League Committee and is a J.League associate member. However, they start in the J3 instead. The JFL is the highest tier of amateur level football in Japan again, but they still serve the purpose of helping potential J.League clubs to participate in the J3.

At a J.League board meeting in August 2021, 60 clubs, of which 20 are J3, were targeted for the entire league, and a possibility that J3 would have exceeded 20 clubs by the 2023 season was brought up. Mitsuru Murai, the J.League chairman, revealed that he was discussing how to adjust to 20 clubs. At this time, he was asked, "If there is a possibility of the [J3] league having 21 teams, is it okay to understand that there are teams that will fall from J3 to JFL?" While under consideration, he admitted that the J3 and JFL were considering the introduction of relegation to the latter league as early as after the 2022 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jleague.jp/news/article/20587/|title=2021年度 第8回Ｊリーグ理事会後チェアマン定例会見発言録|publisher=J.League|access-date=20 October 2021|date=1 September 2021|language=ja}}</ref> Later in November, Murai announced that promotion from and relegation to the JFL had been planned for the end of 2023.<ref>{{cite news |title=２３年にも入れ替え実施 Ｊ３とＪＦＬ |url=https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2021112501185&g=spo |access-date=8 December 2021 |work=Jiji.com |date=25 November 2021 |language=ja |archive-date=25 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211125195821/https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2021112501185&g=spo |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In early January 2023, the J.League introduced the J3–JFL promotion/relegation playoffs, enabling the possibility for teams to be relegated from the J3.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://aboutj.jleague.jp/corporate/en/release/promotion-and-relegation-between-j3-and-jfl-from-2023-season/|title=Promotion and Relegation between J3 and JFL from 2023 Season|access-date=6 January 2023|date=6 January 2023|language=ja|website=J.League}}</ref> The system of promotion and relegation between the J3 and the JFL can be determined by the eligibility (promotion to J3 requires a J.League license) of the JFL's champions and runners-up for the season.

*If '''only the JFL champions''' hold a license, they replace automatically the J3's 20th-placed team.
*If '''only the JFL runners-up''' hold a license, there are promotion/relegation playoffs with the J3's 20th-placed team.
*If '''both the JFL champions and runners-up''' hold a license, there is automatic exchange between the JFL champions and the J3's 20th-placed team, and the runners-up compete in two-legged playoffs with the J3's 19th-placed team.
*If '''both the JFL champions and runners-up''' do not hold a license, no exchange takes place; the teams placed third and below in the league standings, even if one of them holds a J3 license, are not entitled to promotion and the playoffs.

===Relegation from JFL===

The team at the bottom of the league faces a direct relegation, exchanging its place with [[Japanese Regional Football Champions League|Regional League promotion competition]] winner, with the team ranked 15th playing the relegation/promotion play-off against the team finishing second in that competition. The number of teams relegated varies depending on the outcome of the play-off or the number of teams withdrawn from the JFL.

===Emperor's Cup eligibility===

Until 2008, only the club at the top of the standings at half-season (17 matches completed) was qualified for the [[Emperor's Cup]], entering it at the third round along with the clubs in J2, but the allotment was widened to the top three clubs in 2010 due to the expansion of J2. Every other club must qualify through a qualifying cup in their own prefecture and then must enter at the first round.
In 2015, only the winner of the apertura (first half) qualified.

===JFL XI===

In 1999 ([[Bangabandhu Cup]]) and since 2014, a JFL XI team has played off-season matches against guest teams. The 2016 season also featured an JFL East vs JFL West all-star encounter.

==2024 season==
{{main|2024 Japan Football League}}

===Competition format===
The league follows a one-stage double round-robin, wherein the team finishing at the top of the table following the season is declared the champion. From 2014 to 2018 it used the [[Apertura and Clausura]] system, with two winners of each stage contesting the championship in the playoff. From 2019 it used the single table with double round-robin system to 30 matches.
