The '''Albany Empire''' is a professional [[arena football]] team based in [[Albany, New York]], that began play in the [[Arena Football League]] (AFL) in 2018 and then moved to the [[National Arena League]] (NAL) in 2021.

The Empire was Albany's third arena football team and second AFL team; it succeeded the original [[Albany Firebirds]] who began AFL play in [[1990 Arena Football League season|1990]] and enjoyed great success, most notably winning [[ArenaBowl XIII]], before moving to [[Indianapolis]] following the [[2000 Arena Football League season|2000 season]], and later the [[Albany Firebirds (af2)|Albany Conquest]] who played in the [[af2]] developmental league from [[2002 af2 season|2002]] until that league folded after the [[2009 af2 season|2009 season]] (and was known as the Firebirds for that last season).

Home games are played at [[Times Union Center]] located in downtown Albany. The Empire was Albany's third arena football team, second AFL team, and first NAL team; it succeeds the original [[Albany Firebirds]] who began AFL play in [[1990 Arena Football League season|1990]] and enjoyed great success, most notably winning [[ArenaBowl XIII]], before moving to [[Indianapolis]] following the [[2000 Arena Football League season|2000 season]], and later the [[Albany Firebirds (af2)|Albany Conquest]] who played in the [[af2]] developmental league from [[2002 af2 season|2002]] until that league folded after the [[2009 af2 season|2009 season]] (and was known as the Firebirds for that last season). ==History== After the [[American Hockey League]]'s [[Albany Devils]] [[Binghamton Devils|relocated]] to [[Binghamton, New York|Binghamton, NY]], the Times Union Center was left without a full-time professional tenant. (It remained home to the Siena College men's basketball team of the NCAA Division I Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.)
