The Shropshire Revolution are a British American football team based in Telford, Shropshire, in the Midlands, England.

The Team are currently members of the British American Football Association National League.

The Shropshire Revolution are in South Division of the BAFANL NFC 2 Conference.

The Shropshire Revolution American Football team were formed in January 2006 by like minded enthusiasts and fans of the game, via a forum on the website of NFLUK.

Seven players met for the first session in the Town Park Bowl on Saturday 21 January 2006, when the following week a management team was formed.

Initial discussions were along the lines of Flag Football until the team were ready to think about entering an application for kitted league football.

Media interest from BBC Local Television, BBC Radio Shropshire, the Shropshire Star newspaper, and Beacon Radio swelled the numbers of those interested in viewing and participating in the game considerably over the following weeks and a competition, run on Beacon Radio to choose the team name from a short list, declared that the team shall be known as the 'Shropshire Revolution' . The management team worked towards becoming an Associate Member of the British American Football League. This application was successful and the team was granted associate membership on 2 July 2006.

The team's first game took place on 1 October 2006. In front of around 200 people, the Revolution beat the Lincolnshire Bombers 30-6. This was followed on 15 October by the team's first away game against the Leicestershire Falcons, which the Revolution won 28-14. A home game against the Leicestershire Falcons on 28 October saw the Revolution with a 29-0 victory.

On 1 November the league confirmed that the Revolutions application for league membership for the 2007 season, had been successful.
