The New United States Football League Kicks Off in 2022

FOX Sports to Serve as Official Broadcast Partner for the USFL

Los Angeles – Today, the new United States Football League (USFL) announced that the league will officially kick off in the spring of 2022.

The league will target a minimum of eight teams and deliver high-quality, innovative professional football to fans throughout the spring season.

“I’m extremely passionate about football and the opportunity to work with FOX Sports and to launch the new USFL in 2022,” said Brian Woods, co-founder of the new USFL and founder and CEO of The Spring League (TSL). “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.”

FOX Sports will serve as the official broadcast partner for the USFL. FOX Sports also owns a equity stake in the company that owns the USFL.

Although the new USFL owns the USFL trademark and various team names, including the team names that were abandoned after the 1980s USFL league shut down, the new USFL is not associated or affiliated with that league or its owners.

More information on the USFL, including cities, teams, head coaches, and game schedules, will be announced at a later date.
