The Wichita Force are a professional indoor football team based in Wichita, Kansas. They are members of the Champions Indoor Football league. The team was founded in 2014 as an expansion franchise. The Force's home games are played at Intrust Bank Arena. Former Wichita Wild head coach Paco Martinez and his staff were hired by the Force.
The Force opened the season with a home loss to the Salina Bombers then regrouped to win four consecutive games in a five-week span. After that stretch, results have been mixed with road losses to the two teams that would end up playing in the Champions Bowl—Texas Revolution and Sioux City Bandits—then, a home win over the Salina Bombers, and a road win over the Dodge City Law.
*During the 2015 season, the CIF did not have divisions. So finish listed is position in the overall league standings
