Axis Football League Unblocked — Play Free Online

Axis Football League is a full American football game that fits inside a browser tab. You pick one of several teams, each with a listed strength rating, choose formations, and play through the game with real football structure: downs, kickoffs, offence and defence. It comes from Axis Games, the studio behind the Axis Football series.

It is an odd neighbour for a tank site, but it suits the same crowd. Awesome Tanks is about quick, tactical rounds on a keyboard, and this is the same kind of thing with a ball. You are still reading the field, picking your moment and committing to it.

The game is a Flash title running through an emulator, so it loads in the page with nothing to install. The first load can take a few seconds while the file comes down.

How to play

Move your player with W, A, S and D. Click with the left mouse button to switch to a different player, which matters most on defence, when you want the man nearest the ball and not the one you started with. Press the space bar to kick.

Click inside the game once before you start so the keys reach it. Before each game, look at the team list: the strength information tells you whether you are picking a favourite or giving yourself a challenge. Then choose a formation for the play and run it.

Tips

• Pick a stronger team for your first few games, so you can learn the controls without also fighting a talent gap.
• On defence, switch players early. Waiting until the ball carrier is past your man leaves you chasing.
• Try different formations rather than repeating one. The game gives you several, and what works against one opponent may not against another.
• Keep your hand near the space bar on special teams, since kicks are the one action that is not on the movement keys.

Similar games on Awesome Tanks

If you want to stay on the keyboard but go back to tanks, Tank Stars is a turn-based artillery duel where you adjust angle and power, and Tank Trouble 2 is a fast maze shootout. Hills of Steel swaps the ball for a driving game, with a tank climbing hills. Awesome Tanks, the headline game here, is the better pick for a round measured in seconds rather than a whole football match.

Axis Football League suits a longer sitting than most of the site. It works best with a keyboard and a mouse, so a laptop or Chromebook is a better fit than a phone.
