The 2013 LFL US Season was the fourth season of LFL United States, the first in the rebranded Legends Football League, and the fifth in the combined history of that league and its predecessor, the Lingerie Football League. The season featured 12 teams in various cities across the United States. In 2012, the league decided to move to a spring and summer schedule, beginning in March, 2013. For the 2013 season the league granted two new franchises: Omaha Heart and Atlanta Steam. The Toronto Triumph was, as scheduled, realigned into the league's Canadian division, LFL Canada, for the 2012 season. The Orlando Fantasy officially suspended operations, while the Tampa Breeze relocated to Jacksonville, Florida to become the Jacksonville Breeze.
For the 2013 season, the LFL released a new division structure, splitting the twelve teams into four divisions. Opening night of the 2013 was on March 30, 2013, between Atlanta Steam and Jacksonville Breeze, while Chicago Bliss and Green Bay Chill ended the regular season on August 10, 2013. For the first time, Conference division playoffs were held on August 17, 2013 at Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois between the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds of both the Eastern and Western Conferences, with the winners playing the No.1 seeds in the Conference Championship games on August 24, 2013 at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California. The 2013 LFL US Legends Cup (formerly the Lingerie Bowl) was played at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 1, 2013 between the Philadelphia Passion and Chicago Bliss. The Chicago Bliss won the Legends bowl 38–14, its first championship in the LFL.
