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

Great video. Breakers and Dragons are locks. I totally agree on the Generals and Guardians. Vipers is a cool team name as well but needs a rework. Omaha is a great option and Nighthawks is an excellent team name. It’s funny you mentioned the “Canton Legends”. I had the exact same thought. Especially with the HOF there. Denver and Buffalo sounds good. I’m not sure about Portland. I hope it is a good option. It would help the west. San Diego might be good. I thought the Hot shots looked good. Also the Stars were iconic.

My prediction for the 4 teams Greg Williams alluded to for 2025 are the New Orleans Breakers, Orlando Guardians, Canton Bulldogs and either the NJ Generals or a team in Nashville as they recently applied for a Nashville copyright along with Canton. 2026 I would expand back west with the Seattle Seadragons, Portland, San Diego and the San Jose Demons. Also I completely agree Buffalo needs a team along with Kansas City, Oklahoma City and Indianapolis. These are all big markets that only have one major to compete with in the spring. (MLB, NBA, NHL) That’s my 20 teams.

20 teams is definitely the maximum the league can expand to, otherwise you're risking overlap with the NFL schedule, and you HAVE to have some kinda break between the leagues to give people a rest. For me, here's how I'd set up a 20-team UFL: Firstly, the conferences need to go away... it's a fun novelty for the first couple years, build up rivalries, but if you're a UNITED football league, the teams need to mingle more. So with that, no conferences, just 5 divisions of 4, to make 14-game scheduling that much simpler. UFL West: Portland Loggers Los Angeles Stars - San Diego Hornets Phoenix Hotshots UFL Texas: Dallas Renegades - Austin Armadillos San Antonio Brahmas Houston Roughnecks UFL Central: Denver Gold St. Louis Battlehawks Chicago Cyclones - Michigan Panthers UFL South: Memphis Showboats Birmingham Stallions Atlanta Firebirds - Orlando Apollos UFL North: DC Defenders NJ Generals NY Guardians - Boston Breakers The dashes indicate cities that could become hubs for their respective divisions. In theory it would only increase facility costs by 2.5x overall.

As someone who was a kid with season tickets to the original TB Bandits in the 80s, love this list. I hope, if/when they expand, they stick with pulling from the historic XFL and USFL brands. 100% with the NO Breakers. No brainer there. Jacksonville Bulls could be another one. Like NO, no other spring competition. I watched every recent version of spring football (AAF, XFL, USFL, now UFL). Can't get enough. And, BTW, the Defenders have the PERFECT stadium for spring football. Small, intimate, but large enough for home field advantage. I wish all teams played in smaller stadiums than large, empty ones.

Also would call the Canton team the Bulldogs and rename the Northern Division to Central Division. But still, your list is very solid.

Well as someone from Hawaii, there are 2 reasons why I don't see that happening. First of all, we don't have a stadium. The Aloha stadium closed down in 2020, They are planning on building a new Stadium around 2028. For now, the only option (which really isn't an option) is to play at the University of Hawaii campus. The Clarence T. C. Ching Athletics Complex supposedly holds 9,000. To me, it looks more like 5,000 - 7,000 at most. If you watch the games on TV they shoot a lot of close-ups because they don't want to show how small the complex looks like on TV. The other reason is Hawaii is just too far away. They have problems with the Seattle Sea Dragons so imagine DC Defenders flying all the way out to Hawaii?

First of all happy birthday. I know it's a fantasy wish list, just like mine but here is my take on your expansion talk. First of all, if you have 20 teams then you should bring back ALL the teams from the "modern" USFL/XFL first, shame on you for not bringing back the Stars and Bandits. The LA Wildcats, I would move them to San Diego and bring back the Oakland Invaders instead. I think you should have at least 2 UFL teams in California, Northern and Southern California. Invaders sounds like the Raiders so maybe you can bring back the Raiders fans. Also move the Vipers to Portland, so you can start a nice rivalry with the Sea Dragons, Invaders, and the Vipers. I like your Snake for the logo on the helmet. Also, you may have to move the Invaders to San Jose or Sacramento, there's a reason why everyone is leaving Oakland plus the stadium is run down there in Oakland. I liked the AAF too but I would rather have the AAF come back and merge with the CFL. The team for Canton, bring back the Ohio Glory, a former WLAF/NFL Europe team. Plus by having the Ohio Glory will mean you will have some kinda deal/relationship with the NFL, which is what the UFL really needs. I would keep the Chicago Blitz in Chicago. Yes bring back the New Jersey Generals and have them play at Red Bull stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. Guardians honestly I don't know about them playing at MetLife stadium, too big for the UFL, move them to New York State, Buffalo, or Rochester. Yes Hinze Ward as the head coach for the Pittsburgh Maulers, or at least the Offensive Coordinator.

Bring back the Virginia Destroyers! Hampton Roads is the largest market without a pro team! Also, the Sacramento Mountain Lions were very well supported back in the old UFL days.

Great video only thing different I would do is put a team in Sacramento instead of Oakland. The old UFL you mentioned had a team called the Sacramento Mountain Lions they played at Sac State and drew 22,000 fans every game. Fun fact they were coached by former Vikings and Cardinals coach Dennis Green former Vikings Quarterback Duane Culpepper was our QB Denzel Washington’s son played for the team as well. Sacramento has great passionate fans we used to have a team in the World Football league called the Sacramento Surge that converted to the Gold Miners as part of the CFL expansion into the United States. I feel like an expansion team in Sacramento would draw more support than Oakland. Just my opinion.

USE CAN USE CITY FLAG COLORS FOR LAKERS. CAROLINA FLYERS OR AVIATORS TO EASTERN. CAROLINA COPPERHEADS ALSO SOUNDS AMAZING TOO.

Three issues: 1. Before putting two teams in the NY metro area, you need to see if there is support for one team in the area. 2. An Oakland team still has the issues with the Oakland Coliseum (sewage backup, wild animals in the stadium). 3. There is no stadium in Omaha. The downtown baseball stadium is built for the College World Series and the city won't let anything else in the stadium other than baseball until July. The other stadium in Sarpy County could be used but it is already used for the Omaha Storm Chasers baseball team and Union Omaha soccer so dates may not be available.

XFL conference: Arlington Renegades, St Louis Battlehawks, Houston Roughnecks, San Antonio Brahmas, DC Defenders, Orlando Vipers, Seattle Sea Dragons, New York Guardians. USFL Conference: Philadelphia Stars, New Jersey Generals, Pittsburgh Maulers, New Orleans Breakers, Las Vegas Gamblers, Birmingham Stallions, Memphis Showboats, and Michigan Panthers. Those would by my first 16 teams

I feel like this league would have a much better chance of success if they run cities who don't have NFL teams. San Diego, Oakland, Portland, Salt Lake City, Orlando, New Jersey, Milwaukee, Columbus, Oklahoma City, but I'd be careful or straight up stay away from current NFL markets.

Omaha NE would be a perfect spot.. it would be a big market and in the old UFL they got anywhere from 15,000 to 24,000 fans A game.. plus they don't have any pro teams there and it's on the border of two states. would give Iowa And Nebraska A team to root for.

Twenty teams sounds good, but I wouldn't put 2 teams in the N.Y market, just a waste. Canton not big enough area. I like the Oakland Invaders from the old USFL name for that area, sounds like Raiders. Oklahoma City would be good for potential rivalry with Omaha.

Love all you said but Oakland should be the invaders like the original USFL. I also think there should be four more teams. In the north, I would go with like a Boise Idaho team as they really support football up there too. So like the Boise bobcats. In the east, I’d bring back the Philadelphia stars as they are a staple of the USFL like you were saying about the generals. In the west, I’d also add another California team the San Diego sharks. And in the south Mississippi mud dogs. .. so yeah, I thought about this quite a few times myself. I wish they would’ve kept all the teams win the merger happen because it would be 16 teams already though.

Las Vegas Outlaws, San Francisco Demons or my personal favorite the Birmingham Bolts? Heck maybe put the SF Demons in Oakland instead? Also maybe put the Bolts in San Diego as a replacement for the Chargers?
