The FXFL Blacktips are a professional American football team, formerly based in Miami, Florida, that now operates as a travel team. They are a charter member of the Fall Experimental Football League, which is trying to become the developmental league for the National Football League. They were to play their home games at FIU Stadium in Miami, also the home to the FIU Panthers football and track and field teams. However, it was announced on September 22, 2014, that the Blacktips would drop 'Florida' from its name and play a truncated road schedule of only three games.[1] The Blacktips' inaugural season begins October 15, 2014.

On September 18, 2014, the Blacktips announced the signing of former Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd,[2] however Boyd never played for the Blacktips, moving to the Boston Brawlers before the season started.
