The Orlando Anarchy are a women's American football team based in the Orlando metropolitan area. They currently play in the Women's Football Alliance. They play their home games at Lake Howell High School in the city of Winter Park, FL.

The team was founded in 2010 as the Central Florida Anarchy, starting play in the first year of the WFA. They filled a void in women's football in Orlando left by the demise of the Independent Women's Football League's Orlando Mayhem.

The mission of the Orlando Anarchy is to provide opportunities for female players to participate in professional tackle football in a safe, positive, and fun environment while fostering sportsmanship, teamwork, community, and individual improvement.

After many seasons of struggling the Orlando Anarchy became the 2017 WFA Tier III National Conference Champions. The Orlando Anarchy made it to the WFA Bowl Weekend in Pittsburgh, PA in 2017. They were defeated in the Tier III Championship game by the Arkansas Wildcats.

After their Championship defeat in 2017 the Orlando Anarchy came back with a fire and desire to not only make it back to the Championship game but to win it. In 2018 the Orlando Anarchy returned in a dominant fashion and ended their regular season with a 7–1 record. In the postseason they remained dominant winning all 3 playoff games and becoming back to back WFA Tier III National Conference Champions on their way to a rematch with the Arkansas Wildcats from the previous year in the 2018 Tier III National Championship.

The Orlando Anarchy became the 2018 WFA Tier III National Champions with a dominant showcase on offense and defense to the tune of a 46–0 victory over the Arkansas Wildcats.

The 2019 WFA National Championship game kicked off on July 12, 2019, at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. Defending D3 National Champions Orlando Anarchy Women's Football Team sought to make it back-to-back titles as they faced D3's top-rated challengers the Nevada Storm. The Orlando Anarchy were unsuccessful; they fell to the Nevada Storm 45 to 62.

The Orlando Anarchy's 2023 roster boasted several All-Americans.[citation needed]
