The Eastern League of Professional Football was a football league formed in 1926 by independent clubs from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Eastern League was a regional minor league that never intended to challenge either the National Football League or even Red Grange’s new American Football League’s dominance over the sport. In the league’s only season the championship was awarded to All-Lancaster Red Roses over the Bethlehem Bears in a controversial move.
