Thames Valley Thunder |
Thames Valley Thunder represents the Thames Valley region, west of London and includes the cities of Milton Keynes, Reading, Oxford, Windsor, Slough and Maidenhead to name but a few. Their main rivals are the London Monarchs.
They play at the home of Milton Keynes Dons and Milton Keynes Dons Women. Stadium:MK is one of the largest stadiums in the region.
Milton Keynes will host the 2025 BFL Championship Game.
The Thunder bases its nickname on the local Milton Keynes Thunder but is unrelated. The logo is based on the 3x World Bowl champions Berlin Thunder of the defunct NFL Europa that played from 1999-2007 with the added black stripe.
The Thunder qualified for the playoffs for the very first time in 2022.
