The Myrtle Beach Freedom were a professional indoor football team based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and played their home games at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. They were a member of American Indoor Football for one season until the league ceased operations in the summer of 2016.

The Freedom are the second indoor football team to call Myrtle Beach home, following the Myrtle Beach Stingrays of the National Indoor Football League, which only played part of the 2003 season in Myrtle Beach before moving to Florence, South Carolina the following season.

History

The Freedom had originally joined X-League Indoor Football (X-League), but the Freedom were forced to choose a new league after the X-League ceased operations. The Freedom joined American Indoor Football (AIF) in October, 2015.[1] Following the conclusion of the 2016 season, the AIF announced that it was ceasing operations, thus leaving the Freedom without a league.
