This is a list of USFL Teams in Alphabetical Order by city name.  We didn’t find the official USFL team list very user-friendly for cutting and pasting.  This list of USFL Teams includes all 8 current teams.  The list of USFL (United States Football League) teams accounts for only the reformed league that started play in 2022 instead of the 18 its predecessor had in total when it ended in 1986.

List of Historical USFL Teams and Championships

Yes, and I am old enough to remember this, and for some reason owned an LA Express football jersey. These are all the teams that have historically existed in the USFL.

You can see that the team mascot and name transfer between cities. There was a lot of franchise movement in the short-lived league in the early 1980s.

USFL 2022 Reboot

We will be interested to see how long the USFL reboot can last. The XFL reboot got snuffed out by you know what before it could even get started. Here is a quote from the United States Football League’s Brian Woods:

These eight teams form the core of our initial league membership and will represent an exciting brand of professional football coming this spring. We look forward to the start of our inaugural season.

I am a lifetime basketball enthusiast and loved playing basketball competitively through high school. I still try and play at least 3 times a week and explore all kinds of equipment and training to keep myself on the court and continually getting better. I am a college basketball fanatic and move onto the NBA when March Madness ends.
