The NAIA boasts 89 football playing institutions and 16 teams qualify for the championship series. The NAIA Football program was inaugurated in 1956 with the first National Championship game being played in Little Rock, Arkansas as the Aluminum Bowl. In 1956 and 1957, two leading NAIA Football teams were invited to participate in the game, and in 1958, a four-team playoff was implemented to determine the NAIA National Football Champion.
