The Fort Wayne Freedom is a team in the Continental Indoor Football League, beginning play in the 2008 season. Like the original Freedom, they will retain a red, white, and blue color scheme, and play in the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.

As of April, 2008, the only regular front office member was General Manager Elvis Ahlborn, who had previously worked in the af2 with the Fort Wayne Fusion (2007) and Green Bay Blizzard (2003-2006). In September, 2008, the Freedom announced that GM Elvis Ahlborn had stepped down and that former Freedom Assistant GM Brad Harris (who was with the original Freedom from 2003-2005) had been hired as GM. Ahlborn will stay on with the team, most likely as Game Operations Manager. The Freedom also announced that head coach Matt Land would return for the 2009 season.

In 2008, Freedom head coach Matt Land was asked to lead the team for the final four games of the season by Fahlsing when original head coach Willie Davis, Jr. was fired the morning of the May 17 game against the Chicago Slaughter. With only 15 minutes of practice, Land's second term began with a 41-33 loss to the Slaughter, despite a solid performance by the Freedom defense.

2005 Season

The 2005 season was a season for the ages, and statistically is the best season the Freedom have had in franchise history. Finishing a league-best 14-2, the Freedom had high hopes as they went into the first-round of the UIF playoffs. On the other hand, the Tennessee Valley Raptors had other plans. Considering the game was in Fort Wayne, the Freedom were heavily favored, and the Raptors didn't take that into consideration when they destroyed the Freedom 57-22. A phenomenal season for the Freedom came to an end with a miserable showing in the first-round against a team that had more heart and more poise.
