Once the excitement of the NFL Draft and the flurry of late free agency moves dies down, football fans are left craving more action. Enter the United Football League (UFL), born from the merger of the XFL and USFL in December 2023.
The UFL aims to serve as a developmental league for the NFL, offering opportunities for both aspiring and former NFL players to showcase their talents and potentially earn spots on NFL rosters.
Though the UFL is relatively small, boasting just eight teams compared to the NFL’s 32, it’s designed to keep the football spirit alive. It’s still up in the air whether the league will expand or how long it will last, but for now, it provides a fresh avenue for spring football excitement.
Spread across the United States, the UFL’s teams ensure that fans from various regions can experience live football action during the spring months.
Here’s a look at where each UFL team calls home, including their city, state, and stadium:
