The United States Football League will be rebooted in 2022, nearly 40 years after its first go-round.
The new league will feature at least eight teams and has retained the team names of the original USFL, which was in operation from 1983-85. Games will be played in the spring, and team locations will be announced at a later date. We look forward to providing players a new opportunity to compete in a professional football league and giving fans everywhere the best football viewing product possible during what is typically a period devoid of professional football, said Brian Woods, co-founder of the new USFL and founder and CEO of The Spring League.

The USFL is back after a 37-year absence. The United States Football League announced on Thursday it will relaunch next spring.
The original USFL ran for three years from 1983-1985 and was notable for competing with the NFL for star athletes, attracting the likes of Herschel Walker, Reggie White, Steve Young and Jim Kelly. Former president Donald Trump was also an owner of one of the franchises, the New Jersey Generals.
Fox Sports will be the league’s broadcast partner, giving it two pro football franchises. Fox is also a minority investor in the company that owns the USFL. The rebooted league will feature at least eight teams and “retains rights to key original team names.”
