One of fourteen sanctioned teams in the country, the Buffalo Bills Wheelchair Football Team plays against other teams, some of whom are NFL-affiliates, in regional matchups and national tournaments. The program is run by and partially sponsored by Bob Woodruff Foundation , NFL Foundation, and Move United. Our team has doubled since its inaugural season in 2021, and we are always looking for more athletes. During the 2025 season, the Buffalo Bills Wheelchair Football team competed in tournaments in Phoenix, AZ, Tampa, FL, and Kansas City, MO. 

This 7 v. 7 touch-style game is played outdoors on blacktop or indoors on a multipurpose surface. Wheelchair football season runs from May through October with weekly practices and national tournaments.
