- The rumors are true. Expansion is in the future for the UFL but there is some criteria in order for this to happen...

6:07 Final Thoughts - Sport
Boise Idaho would be a great market, die hard, Broncos fans here, a UFL team would be a dream come true, Vamos Brahmas😊
I hope the UFL is successful and eventually grows to become a 32 team league.
5:32 I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS NOW THANK YOU!!! I love the branding for those old AAF teams and would love to see some come back. That way it’s like all the leagues from the past couple years “survived”
Breakers and Sea Dragons for me. Nice work on the video.
I appreciate it
Im for New Orleans .I like the breakers, but the ufl should have teams in cities that dont have nfl teams
Simple answer for that - relocate them back to Portland where they once were. And who says there has to be even # of USFL and XFL? There was an XFL team in Orlando. USFL once had teams in Portland, Oklahoma and Oakland. Also Jacksonville and Arizona (and this was before the NFL had teams there).
Amd there is a simple answer to that. New Orleans had the Breakers before Portland after Boston failed them. Stay in New Orleans.
I honestly think that the IFL and AFL for indoor/arena football should also consider putting more teams in markets that don’t have NFL teams. Maybe St. Louis? I think that would be a good idea.
@@tomservo75well, Jacksonville also had a WFL team in the 70’s called the sharks (now the name of an indoor team in the IFL).
Gotta put a team in San Diego. The original USFL desperately wanted a franchise there back in the 80s but the Chargers and NFL blocked them at every turn. Now that they have abandoned a loyal market that fully deserves a team, a spring team would be ideal. Spring time football in San Diego would be awesome - especially at the right-sized stadium now on the site of the Murph!
A very good idea. I would really love to see spring football in San Diego, in a way the cities story is almost identical to St. Louis. Both had football teams that left for money, and both were abandoned despite being loyal markets, and both had made plans to try and keep their respective franchises from moving.
Loving this league. Broncos are my team in the NFL for 40 years, but I love this league and the stories it’s creating.
I think the plan should be that teams that are brought in are attached to each other. So if Seattle came back, Portland should be brought in as well, if they can get an agreement with the Portland Timbers/Thorns. If New Orleans doesn't come back Portland becomes the Breakers, just like what happened in 1985.
Any comment, any repost, any like on any social media will help the league grow. Social media pushes out content that has the most engagement
Very True!
I do hope the UFL will be a permanent fixture and will partner up with the NFL. I would like to see what FOX and the USFL were trying to do and bring back all the former USFL teams. I know it will probably take up to 10-15 years with future expansion. Well, this is what I wish the UFL would eventually be like with a league of 28 teams. Once again there would be 2 Conferences, the USFL conference and the XFL conference. Each conference would have 14 teams in them with 2 divisions (with 7 teams in them). The USFL conferences 2 divisions would be the North and South divisions. The North division would consist of the Chicago Blitz, Denver Gold, Hartford Federals (formerly the Washington Federals), Michigan Panthers, New Jersey Generals, Philadelphia Stars, and the Pittsburgh Maulers. The south division would be the Austin Gamblers (formerly the Houston Gamblers), Birmingham Stallions, Jacksonville Bulls, Memphis Showboats, New Orleans Breakers, Orlando Warriors (formerly the Orlando Renegades), and the Tampa Bay Bandits. The XFL conference would have the East and West divisions. The East division would consist of the Arlington Renegades, DC Defenders, Houston Roughnecks, Ohio Guardians (formerly the Orlando Guardians, and yes they play in Canton Ohio), Oklahoma Outlaws, San Antonio Brahmas, and the St. Louis Battlehawks. The West division would consist of the Arizona Wranglers, Los Angeles Express, Portland Vipers (formerly the Vegas Vipers), Salt Lake City Gunslingers (formerly the San Antonio Gunslingers), San Diego Wildcats (formerly the LA Wildcats), Seattle Sea Dragons and the Oakland Invaders (it would probably be San Jose or Sacramento, Northern California for sure for the Invaders since the stadium in Oakland is in dire need of repairs). I know there will be people saying the San Diego team should be the Fleet but that was an AAF team (and the UFL does not have the rights to them) and besides the USFL/XFL would rather bring back the Express and Wildcats. The regular season would be a 13-game season
1. New Orleans Breakers-NOLA Superdome
2. Philadelphia Stars-Eagles Field
3. Pittsburgh Maulers-Acrisure Stadium
4. New Jersey Generals-MetLife Stadium
5. Vegas Viper-Allegiant Stadium
6. Tampa Bay Bandits- Raymond James Stadium
7. Houston Gamblers-NRG Stadium
8. Dallas Gunslingers-AT&T Stadium
9. Arizona Hotshots- State Farm Stadium
10. Seattle SeaDragons-Lumen Field
It would be smart to have teams in non nfl teams
As a retired fireman, my dad would love for the Arizona hotshots to come back. The AAF teams would add some nice variety in terms of jersey style and team themes.
Been a Panthers fan from day 1.
I honestly feel like the reason the UFL stadiums aren't as full as the XFL and USFL ones from last year is because they didn't really start advertising and ticket sales until a month before kick off. If each team gets an independent owner so they can advertise during the final weeks of the NFL season and playoffs to build hype for the teams
Yeah the marketing was honestly garbage 🗑 at best. Can't wait for the teams to have individual owners who can commit more funds to marketing
1:29-2:50- 3:44 The National Football League should host the Super Bowls at Protective Stadium, Simmons Liberty Bank Stadium, Choctaw Stadium, the Alamodome, and the Dome at America’s Center
Seriously? 😂
2:30 MLR Old Glory DC, UFL Defenders and NFL Commanders should build Neo-RFK Jr. Stadium at RFK Parkway in Downtown Washington, DC
I would love to see them bring teams to city's and states that don't have a pro team already. I live in Nebraska I would love to see them bring back the Omaha express or even off the Omaha beef a spot in the league.
Best spring football channel.
Thanks for the love.
I could see the New York Guardians and New Jersey Generals being expansion teams in 2025 since they're relatively close geographically.
Though I would want the Tampa Bay Bandits and Seattle Sea Dragons back.
This was a good video. I watched both leagues and enjoyed them. As for the four teams. I would like to see the Guardians return to the New York to reunite their feud with D.C., and move the Roughnecks back to the XFL. I thought it was dumb to rebrand the Gamblers because I think Houston can support two teams. For the USFL side, I would love to see Philly, New Jersey, and New Orleans. Philly and Jersey had a rivalry and so did New Orleans and Birmingham. The league should focus on bringing back to teams that were left out first before they go to new markets.
San Antonio TX here
I enjoyed New Orleans Breakers and Seattle Sea Dragons. I like all the teams really but it would be nice to have those two teams back. Shoot,, even bring back Chicago Blitz :)
Sea dragons for sure
Love the AAF idea for sure!! I want to see my New Orleans Breakers come back. We have the perfect stadium in Tulane Stadium for them to play as well. As far as expansion, I'd like to see somewhere on the West Coast get a team! I'd also like to see a segment on ESPN dedicated to the UFL or even a new station on cable services providers!
I don't know what franchises will be added but here's a list of team nicknames: Arizona Firebirds, Atlanta Blazers, Baltimore Rockets, Boston Shamrocks, Buffalo Dynamo, Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Gladiators, Cincinnati Centurions, Cleveland Commodores, Columbus Ohioans, Denver Gold, Indiana Intrepids, Jacksonville Bulls, Kansas City Nighthawks, Miami Sharks, Milwaukee Trackers, Minnesota Geminis, New Orleans Breakers, New Jersey Generals, New York Guardians, Oakland Invaders, Oklahoma City 89ers, Orlando Oceaneers, Philadelphia Stars, Pittsburgh Maulers, San Diego Fleet, Seattle Dragons, Tampa Bay Bandits, Tennessee Terrors and Utah Ultrasonics.
Id stay away from NFL cities. The Boston Shamrocks for sure!, AZ firebirds fits. Are you serious about the Ohians tho? *scratches head*
New Orleans and Seattle are no-brainers to bring back. Though I'd love to see the league tap into markets that don't have NFL franchises. Portland (OR), Sacramento (successful CFL team back in the day), Omaha, Canton, Tulsa, Richmond, Columbus (OH), etc.
I don't think Seattle is necessarily a no-brainer. They have a big fan base, yes. Unfortunately, their fans didn't really show up in 2023.
I know they had pretty good attendance in 2020, but considering they play in a huge nfl stadium, they need to draw 25k fans consistently for a team to be financially sensible.
Yes, I agree Sea Dragons and Breakers is an easy one...then for the other two an XFL division team put in either San Diego or Denver would be great (I miss the old Denver Gold of USFL), but also New Jersey Generals for East Coast team near D.C.
2:09 The Roughnecks are better at NRG Stadium with the Texans and Gamblers
WOOOOOOO LETS GO BRAHMAS!!!
(Until we get a florida team ;) )
Lol Deal!
🔥
Looking at the stats at the halfway mark, I wouldn't be surprised if the Breakers came back to NOLA. They're the 3rd biggest local market that tunes into games, so they're probably in a prime position. I know they couldn't secure a stadium in time, but hopefully they can get it done for next year!
The league is doing better, but only slightly. TV viewership is up almost 30%, and even though we already know who's in the playoffs, the quality of play is good! We probably won't get 4 teams next year, though. It'll probably be 2; one on each end. Presuming no teams relocate (which they shouldn't!), the smart money is on the return of the Breakers and the Sea Dragons.
What sucks is that apparently NY and LA are off the table right now. Those are your biggest, what I call, "anchor cities." They're the biggest markets out there. They bring in more viewers and attendance cause everyone wants to beat those big-city snobs! Yet due to all the regulation involved, it's not in play. If they can make it happen, next expansion, kill two birds with one stone: Revive the Generals and Guardians at Metlife or Red Bull.
There's a stadium in Oakland?
Vipers (XFL) and Maulers (USFL) for me. AAF brands, San Diego Fleet & B'Ham Iron would be nice.
First things first, I need some relationship advice... Second, I think i'll be getting some merch for sure
I cannot guarantee the success rate of ANY of my dating advice lol
It would be awesome to have a ufl team in the Carolinas
I would attend a game or so
Good channel. I agree with you on this. I don’t totally agree with staying away from NFL cities because that is where greatest fans thirsting for spring football would be at. But I do think non overlap with cities in either league or within each league. Yes Houston, Dallas, LA, NY, Philadelphia and others are big enough to have two teams. But I would focus on cities that are passionate about football but not necessarily all professional football and sports teams markets.
So what I am saying is have four added in prominent cities that were supporting before in both leagues and have NFL and venture into new cities but still major cities.
Seattle is a pro football and college football town. So you could counter with Portland Oregon as their added non professional NFL football city. New York City could be your NFL pro sports city and Piscataway or Atlantic City New Jersey would be your non NFL city. San Diego as your non NFL city and Las Vegas as your NFL city for a UFL teams. El Paso as your non NFL city and Denver as your NFL city for UFL teams.
If league succeeds and survives and stays and want to go to 32 teams later on, then cities like Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Orlando, Austin, Oakland, Salt Lake City, OKC, Tulsa, Santa Fe, Baltimore, Shreveport, Topeka, Albuquerque, Reno, Beaumont, Tucson, Louisville, Albany, Sacramento, San Francisco, Burlington, Bangor, Ft. Lauderdale, Atlanta, Cleveland, Toledo, St. Paul/Minneapolis, Little Rock, Richmond, Charleston, Raleigh, and Chattanooga are potential destinations that could be considered.
Now I am a Texan and the more Texas and Louisiana and New Mexico and Oklahoma teams the better.
Canton Bulldogs in Ohio, and Nashville expansion club. Start off with these two, then bring back one defunct team from each league. NJ Generals and Seattle.
I can agree with that
I am sooo hoping the league succeeds
The West Coast & Midwest need consideration. Geographically this league is in 1 region of the country mostly in the South or Southeast. A Seattle - Portland package I would say however geographic disadvantage if these teams are in opposite conferences (Portland Breakers possibly?). The thing is to try not to get into existing NFL markets. Outside of Canton & Orlando the cities of San Diego and Oakland need to be selected fairly soon.
I so want a team is either San Diego, San Jose or Sacramento if possible. If the SD Fleet came back I’d get merch
How about Omaha from UFL 1.0
Bring a UFL team to South Carolina 🙏
I think that's a good landing spot for a team
I would like to see the return of the AAF . And merge with the German Football League.
I’m a Pittsburgh guy, so I’d like to see the Maulers. However, they need to find a stadium (doesn’t have to be Acrisure, there are several colleges in the city) so I would understand them being low on the list. I’m fine with Seattle being the next XFL team, and bring back an old USFL west coast team if a traveling partner helps make it work. Otherwise, have Pitt/Philly/New Jersey fight over it. First one that inks a stadium deal comes back. Until then, I’ll roll with the Defenders. Beer Snake for life!
Brahmas here to stay!!
Horns forward baby!
They need to make sure the 8 teams they have are solid. Should not even mention the E word. 12 then 16 ? No thanks. To much to fast. They have a good thing going. Don't screw it up.
Be nice to see a Hawaii team, The Rock as Co-Owner of the XFL mentioned he would like to see a team in Hawaii, his hometown. This League can hopefully expand in places the NFL doesn't consider. Maybe he could possibly be the owner considering Danny Garcia really liked and favored the Orlando Guardians, her hometown.
A Hawaiian team would be EPIC!!! Travel would be a nightmare though.
A Hawaii team would be difficult with travel. Just look at the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors in FBS, not to mention the constant weird time zones. Hell in FBS they give teams 2 bye weeks if they play the Rainbow Warriors that season
Have you heard anything about international broadcasting?
@@Tyrone181 nothing yet, but XFL games, Last Year, were available internationally via Disney Plus.
@@210stockyard I meant for this season.
How about a very large market with no NFL franchises currently, and/or has a huge (college) football fanbase. (San Diego, Milwaukee, SLC, Orlando, Austin, Oklahoma City, etc.)
Cities without NFL team are a must surely? San Diego, Orlando, Oakland, Salt Lake City, Portland???
If the teams are all the same price, I’d buy the St. Louis Battlehawks, but I’m a Michigan Panthers fan, but I also have a good head for business.
I'd buy the Brahmas!
Make it happen
The New Jersey Generals need to come back.
Vegas needs a team.
That didnt work out well though...
Sea Dragons and Generals as ONLY returning teams, Put a team in San Diego, Shreveport, Boise, Portland (Maybe), San Jose, Oklahoma City, Louisville, Sacramento, Omaha, Tulsa, Toldeo. Dont go to ANYMORE NFL cities!!!
Totally Agree with 80%. I hesitate for Cali teams other than San Diego or Oakland.
exactly
This should happen, at lest this is what I would do if I owned the UFL. St. Louis, San Antonio, DC, Birmingham, should stay were they are. Allington should move to Oakland, or San Diego. Houston should go to El Paso or else Little Rock Albuquerque, or Tulsa. Memphis should get a complete rebrand and go to Honolulu with a name like Hawaii Islanders Lava, Fury or Sharks or better yet Hawaii Breakers. Michigan should go to Omaha or Milwaukee. For expansion they should take it easy, but I would try to go with Sault Lake City, Boise, Louisville, and Anchorage. You could use old XFL and or USFL names like Dragons, Gold, Legends etc.. But some other great names would be Utah Lakers, Boise Mountaineers, Louisville Wildcats, and Anchorage Kings. The key is to go to cities that don't have NFL teams, preferably in States without a NFL team, or a market were the NFL teams are not doing well.
I can only honestly agree with only the last statement lol. The suggested cities/moves are just too improbable... for now
It is kind of sad, but in the first incarnation of the USFL back before 2000 the Tampa Bay Bandits were the most successful franchise. At that point, the NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers were terrible, the owner, Hugh Culverhouse, was investing in his property empire and taking all the Bucs profits for that and not investing in the team. So back then with Steve Spurrier as coach, and the team they put together, they won games all three seasons never winning the championship but getting close every year in the playoffs. Then, after its return a couple of years ago they had trouble getting people to watch their games playing in Birmingham all season. They folded after one season as the Bucs today are successful run by the Glazers and they could not get Tampa fans.
Boston needs a team
Hmm interesting 🤔
I'd want either the LA Wildcats or the Vegas Vipers to come back, and from the USFL side I guess I'd want the Pittsburgh Maulers to come back
Im iffy on an LA Team. I Guess the Maulers too
@@210stockyard Really, I'm just begging for any California-based team. I need west coast spring football! But for now I'm settling for arena/indoor football for that west coast spring football fix, and I'll try to support the UFL to bring the chances higher of that happening
As long as the xfl pioneers are involved. League will not make it another year!
Bring back The San Jose Sabercats as a UFL team in 2025
Canton, Ohio needs the Bulldogs again
Need a team in Sacramento (Gold Miners). In Northern California.
A no brainer would to bring back the Oakland Invaders. No football or baseball teams there anymore. Bring back the Seattle Sea Dragons. One USFL & XFL team on the west coast. Also, bring back the best fan base in spring football history, the Tampa Bay Bandits. No disrespect to St. Louis but call us when your average attendance is over 50,000 and you break the Bandits' record of 69,000. I would like to see the Arizona Wranglers come back too. Great uniforms.
How much is Gregg Williams injury cash in UFL dollars?
😂
Bounty Gate?
Georgia Dome team!
Please keep the Showboats at Memphis
Oakland Invaders!
That stallion lost prediction didn't age well
Check my response video
Need a team in Portland Oregon.
Expansion?? - Seattle Seadragons (XFL) and New Jersey Generals (USFL)
I hope my Dragons come back. There is no West Coast Teams
Oh and send NO to
Oklahoma City Breakers
XFL:
Arlington Renegades
Houston Roughnecks
San Antonio Brahmas
St. Louis Battlehawks
Seattle Sea Dragons
DC Defenders
USFL:
Birmingham Stallions
Michigan Panthers
Memphis Showboats
New Jersey Generals
New Orleans Breakers
Pittsburgh Maulers
I like that
old UFL TRADEMARKS,AAF TRADEMARKS,old NFL TRADEMARKS OLD XFL TRADEMARK,USFL TRADEMARKS,OLD OLD WFL TRADEMarks ,OLD T SFL
Gotta bring back Philadelphia and New Jersey. Flagship teams. And they don't have to be previously existing teams. There were USFL teams in Portland, Oklahoma, Jacksonville, Oakland. If they don't bring back New Jersey USFL, the XFL can resurrect the New York Hitmen from 2001. One more thing, I don't understand why, especially this year, the USFL and XFL have to be conferences. There have been about 20 USFL teams all-time. If the 16-team league has 10 USFL and 6 XFL so what? Even this year, the Houston Roughnecks (XFL) are in the USFL conference instead of the Houston Gamblers. What gives? I would also prefer cities that don't have NFL teams.
If the 2024 UFL season proves to be a success, I have an idea what teams could be in the UFL for 2025 - XFL (Los Angeles, Tulsa) and USFL (San Diego, Tempe, AZ)
I dont Agree with LA, There's already 2 NFL teams. Not sure if fans would migrate to Spring football. San Diega makes more sense and there are stadiums available. As for the cities, I agree.
@@210stockyard If Los Angeles doesn't appeal for theUFL, I could suggest Austin.
The whole point is put pro football where there isn't any in smaller but thirsty markets. Omaha, Boise, Salt Lake City, somewhere in the Virginas, Louisville, Myrtle Beach perhaps, Oklahoma City etc.
San Diego would be good, Tempe possibly, but defintely not LA.
Have to have at least four West Coast teams to succeed
OK. I anm thinking Glendale, AZ, San Diego, Portland, OR, Salt Lake City, Utah@@briandouty6098
And the Stallions beat the Renegades
Sea Dragons and Vegas Vipers LET'S GO! Philli Stars and Tampa Bay/Orlando Bandis LET'S GO! If we get AAF teams let's get Legends and move them to Canton and San Diago Fleet
Try columbus ohio
How to have Oklahoma City to salt lake City Boise Portland Sacramento Seattle San Diego Austin Texas
Idk about Austin though 😕 🤔
@@210stockyard yeah right maybe Reno Phoenix are Omaha possibility of Fresno California
I want my Seattle sea dragons and Nj generals back,they made me not be able to watch this league. So if I can’t get my two teams back hope this league fails
I have a feeling a merger with the CFL very possible in 5 years once 16 teams have been established with team ownership
Merger with who?
@@210stockyard 🤦🤦🤦. The CFL
@@HunteronaBudgetThat would definitely be Epic!
@@210stockyard it would. Especially since the new season kicksoff end of March, which is perfect for some outdoor stadiums in Canada. Plus the Grey Cup could be the UFL Championship trophy too!
Yeah but play with the Canadian rules but add a force down I love the size of their field
can not watch ufl anymore ,4 games under total week 1 they are more concern with staying under 3 hours then game itself clock always moving yesterday play clock down to 1 second so they just added 25 more
Pro tip: Never open a CZcams video with "Duhhhh, what's up everyone?"
You are not a pro.
Why would you continue to dilute your unproven talent base two years in a row. That is a fast way to failure
Move ALL xfl teams to old USFL teams, and logos. problem solved.
xfl sucked.
Who hurt you?
Seattle needs to come back. They were a powerhouse and got dropped from the league.
they also had a dope fanbase!
