Morphology
The meaning 'the period of the year during which football games are officially scheduled and played' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'football' (the sport) with 'season' (a recurring period marked by events). The noun–noun compositional pattern 'X season' is common in English (and cross-linguistically), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer this meaning.
Etymology
Football season comes from the idea of football happening during a season, a set 'time of year' when things repeat. Teams play most of their games in that period, so the phrase now means the part of the year when football games are played.
