Draft
The 2055 ISFL Draft was held on 11 April, 2055. The Honolulu Hahalua selected linebacker Liv Elsathelookout with the first overall pick.
Rule changes
The following rule changes were approved by a committee consisting of ISFL general managers and Head Office, to come into effect for the 2055 season and beyond:
- Teams may receive a net maximum of $10M in cap space per season from all incoming trades, and teams may send a net maximum of $10M in cap space per season in all outgoing trades. A team that retains some or all of a player's salary when trading that player away is treated as trading away the retained amount of cap space for the purposes of this rule. If salary is retained over multiple seasons, the amount retained each season will count towards that season's maximum.
Preseason
Training camps for the 2055 season started on 01 August, 2055 league-wide, with the first preseason game being held on 29 August, 2055 between the Colorado Yeti and the Yellowknife Wraiths.
Regular season
