The PFL formed in 2010 in an effort to unite the fractured state of football in Northwest.  The OFL, NAFLNw and teams from the WFL, NWFL and WWFA aligned under one banner to bring the best teams together resulting a 17-team alliance.

Prior to the season starting, the Umpqua Valley Knights shut down operations due to health reasons within the family of the teams' management.

In a shocking upset, the Springfield Buzzards knocked out the Portland Monarchs in the south division playoffs and ended a 46-game Northwest winning streak.  The Renegades topped the Buzzards the following week to earn a spot in the inaugural PFL Championship.  The north division was a close battle as the South King Colts bested the Mavericks in overtime, but couldn't repeat a late season win over the Bears that knocked Kitsap from the undefeated ranks.  Kitsap advanced to the finals and came away with the first PFL championship with a 28-14 win over the Renegades.

The PFL was stunned when the Champs pulled the plug on the 2012 season, along with the Rogue Warriors and Klamath Crusaders calling it quits.  Realignment sent the Vipers back to the South division to help even things up.  The Bears would come back as an independent team in late February, too late to rejoin the PFL season and without a coach as Joe Disney had taken the reigns as PFL commissioner.
