Love the Louisville and Albuquerque choices! I think you can’t expand into areas that are further away without bringing in another travel partner
Thank you! Agreed they would need to do that
Churchill Downs
Don't forget the USFL teams that were historic in the 80s. Oakland Invaders,
Denver Gold, Arizona wranglers, Oklahoma Outlaws, Los Angeles Express, Portland breakers. And that's not to mention the historic XFL teams like the San Diego Demons.
Fingers crossed they get brought back into the league!!!
It was San Francisco Demons
Nobody mentions San Jose as a possibility? You could rebrand the Invaders there
Bring back the San Diego Fleet from the AAF. 🏈
Birmingham stallions LA express New Jersey Donald Trump herscal walker baby...Houston gambler..and of course Craig Morton Harry Sydney automan ...usfl was banging
Wisconsinite here. Putting a team south of Milwaukee would also draw from the northern suburbs of Chicago. A team would do very well here.
You are right! I think they would be a success also
I would love an Ohio team
Baby it's cold outside
Bring back the Chicago enforcer's and the Chicago blitz's 🔴♦️🔴♦️🔴♦️🔴♦️♦️🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
Green Bay’s Lambeau field
from Arizona here i would suggest Tucson, before the Merger the XFL was looking to put a team in AZ , however that team should NOT be in PHX with Tucson and ABQ being the same size and growing at the same rate. The UFL needs to focus on non-NFL markets and be in cities where can build a strong following off the bat you will get that in Tucson and won't in PHX. also for the same reasons SLC should also be considered
San Diego Fleet! Bring em back!
They definitely should!
San Diego Extreme is Better than Fleet
By starting the season March 30, the UFL owners are making it easier to expand into big Northern cities, i.e. New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Chicago. A few years later there could be a Western Division of Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego and Seattle. The UFL needs big TV markets.
Agreed keeping its distance from the NFL and college football will work for it, and they will definitely want to get those big tv markets! Thanks for the comment!
With espn and fox covering the games this year the big tv markets are huge
Lol..The league is NOT expanding any time soon, and the ROCK has said that NUMEROUS times
The March 30th start is better for weather but it put the UFL competing more with baseball. In the 1990's baseball almost killed the CFL

I’d probably become a season ticket holder if they had a UFL team here in Albuquerque
Hopefully they bring one out there, it would be good for the sport and league!
Don't forget that left turn.
Definitely want the Sea Dragons, Breakers & Guardians to return.
BUT how about a team or two from the original XFL? Maybe the Birmingham Thunderbolts, Las Vegas Outlaws or the Orlando Rage? I really like when teams have colors that aren't already worn in the NFL.
Definitely! That would be awesome to see, I also like when teams have different colorways than the NFL and are more original
I hope that an Ohio team will be created. Maybe Dayton or Columbus?
I really hope the league is popular so it can expand to something great, spring football has so much potential. It would be really cool for a lot of the teams to be in markets that don’t have NFL teams, so that more cities can have fans of professional sports teams
Fr!
Hopefully more people will give it a chance this year
It would be good for the NFL and college football too because it drives the interest of the sport up, and so many opportunities for people
It would be so awesome to have 3 football leagues that are big name. NFL, NCAA, UFL . UFL needs to catch on
@@PhysicalMediadude and spring football with the UFL doesn’t compete with the nfl or college football so it would be a win win
The Teams like to see UFL Orlando Guardians , Tampa Bay Bandits , Philadelphia Stars, Seattle Sea Dragons, New Jersey Generals, Jacksonville Bulls, Pittsburgh Maulers, Gamblers
The MISL had good team names.
The top 2 - Oakland and San Diego.
They need to take advantage of the "F*ck the NFL" energy.
Fr I think the fans would have that energy!
San Diego would be cool. Bring back The San Diego Fleet name from the AAF, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Fleet
Thank you for your video. I do like your ideas of additional expansion, particularly to the additional cities beyond your first video. I do think San Diego (logistics aside) would be a great place to put a UFL team for those fans that lost the Chargers to LA. Assuming Philadelphia and New York/New Jersey get their teams back, that would put three teams in the four largest metropolitan areas of the northeast, with the DC Defenders already in Washington, DC.
However, the other major northeast market that should get a team is Boston. The Boston area has great support for its sports teams, particularly football with the New England Patriots. Since I am originally from Massachusetts, I am partial to seeing a team in Boston. I assume that the UFL would like to see teams in the largest metro markets, including Los Angeles and Chicago, which someone already mentioned Chicago in another comment.
Will a team ever get to the Boston area? I do have my doubts, but it is possible. I think it will be quite awhile before it happens, though. At least these are my thoughts.
Of course! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I definitely agree on UFL wanting to be in all the largest metro markets, and see them going that route.
Boston is definitely a city that loves their sports and I see that being a success! If the league is successful as a whole I see them branching out there, and all around the NorthEast getting into those metro markets
I like the picks from this video and part 1. I hope to see the league grow big fr
Thank you! As long as the league survives I will be happy and expanding it bigger would make me happier
Grow big and expand to a lot of places with no NFL team?
I just hope the league survives and succeeds
Nice video!
Thank you!!
Keep up the videos!
1. San Francisco Demons-49ers Stadium
2. Los Angeles Wildcats-LA Coliseum
3. Los Angeles Express-SoFi Stadium
4. San Diego Extreme-Snapdragon Stadium
5. Chicago Enforcers- New Bears Stadium
6. New York Hitmen-Jets Stadium
Louisville and Atlanta are my favorite from here, they would do well in the league and with how close they are it would be pretty cost affective to add them. It could be a fast way to expand the league without breaking the bank!
Yeah they wouldn’t add to much to the travel budget They are a great fit
Would love to see it happen
@@cinemalover4027 Put Atlanta in Centre Park Stadium, home of Georgia State football.
ATL would be a dope place for it
4:32 I prefer Green Bay for the United Football League at Lambeau Field
I know it won’t happen since the league is already too saturated with Texas teams but I’m a strong supporter of bringing a team to Austin. It’s one of the fastest growing cities in the country and is hungry for professional teams. I know the USFL copyrighted the Austin Wranglers name before last season started so they were looking at the city but as a Texan it’d be fun to have each major city have a team (although this wouldn’t be supported by anyone outside of Texas 😂)
Austin definitely has the market for it and I could see them wanting to get involved and compete against the 3 other texas teams and there would be a big rivalry for being the best in the state. Could be a whole division for Texas teams! But you are right about a lot of people not wanting it, I’ve seen people complain about them having 3 teams in Texas while their state doesn’t have a team, maybe bring in a few other states and then add the Austin team later on and those people wouldn’t complain. Thanks for the comment!
I suggest Oklahoma, New Mexico and few surrounding states before and then they can add an Austin team to have the 4 Texas teams
They don't need a team in austin. San Antonio is only 80 miles away.
Great video!
Thank you!!!
I think the football team is Portland, Miami, Kansas City, and Los Angeles
Portland Oregon! Good sports town, the civil war between beavers and ducks draws huge crowds, they can play in the downtown providence park
I could see that happening!
Thanks for the suggestion, I agree that does sound good!
I highly doubt Peregrine Sports would let a pointyball team anywhere near Providence Park. And as a Timbers STH I would raise holy hell if they tried.
Bring back the successful teams from the old UFL. Virginia Destroyers (VA Beach), Omaha Nighthawks, Sacramento Mountain Lions and Hartford Colonials.
omaha NE seems like the perfect place to go.. it seems like it would be a big market and they actually used to be in the old UFL and had like a 24,000 turnout before it's the perfect place.. plus the state doesn't have any pro sports
I think going to the cities that lost NFL teams would be a smart move. San Diegans were heartbroken and pissed off when the chargers left. Oakland vs. San Diego could bring in many fans and put a spotlight on the league.
I agree I think they would be successful if they went that route, and it’s worked for St. Louis
Sacramento could be a great opportunity for the UFL
Agreed! They would definitely be good for the UFL
I think they should do Tallahassee, Florida and Charlotte, NC also if your really focused on westward expansion I think Salt Lake City
Thanks for the suggestions! I covered Salt Lake City in part 1 check it out!

@@NostalgicSports48 I watched it before this one I just didn’t remember
@@Adam-tr6ty I appreciate you watching!
I think Raleigh would be better than Charlotte and Orlando better than Tallahassee for UFL expansion.
Louisville would be a great rivalry for Memphis and Birmingham in the south.
Bring back the Chicago Blitz! We have an empty former-MLS stadium that would be perfect for spring football.
That would be awesome!
Albuquerque is 2 small a market. All other locations are fine but Oakland needs to get thier act together.
Good choices! I think Little Rock Arkansas would be a good fit! Smaller market than some but they could put up comparable numbers to other teams
How about Hartford getting into northeast, Boise, Soiux Falls, and Little Rock and P.S. I'm gonna add another city Des Moines, Iowa because of Iowa State and Iowa does well in fan support
You make me laugh 😂
@@Adam-tr6ty hey just throwing out some more suggestions ✌️
@@MichaelBias-fw8tiI get it, I’m just saying, I don’t think Soiux Falls would do well.
@@MichaelBias-fw8tiPlus if that Boise team would be weird if that didn’t have blue as a primary color
I like your suggestions! They are a unique choices I could definitely see fan support in a lot of them! Especially Iowa and Boise!
Great choices!
Appreciate it!
Let’s go UFL!!!
Let’s go❗️
Jaxson miss or Baton Rouge Louisiana
I like both suggestions! Miss could be a fast expansion destination that close by!
@NostalgicSports48
Markets are too small !!!
Jackson, Mississippi tv market is definitely too small.
European League of Football content 👀
Omaha needs a football team
Omaha Mammoth
Omaha railmen. North Platte had the world's largest rail yard at one time. Much like the Memphis Express, tap into something ingrained in Nebraska lore like the mammoth as well.
I have heard bringing back the Omaha nighthawks for OFF. air base. Regardless, Nebraskans will support the team especially if the Denver gold come back. That would start a regional war like the big 8 days between Colorado, Nebraska and Missouri.
I hope we get a team in south carolina
I do too, they deserve a team!
A team in Nashville would be good, there's a very good fan base there
Not all at once but 2 or 4 a year
In the East: Philadelphia, NY/NJ, and Columbus, Ohio in the MLS stadiums it works in D.C.
In the West: San Diego, Oakland, Seattle & Portland, also Omaha was a successful team in the other UFL with the NightHawks, they would probably have to change their name as it is close to the BattleHawks, based off the logo they had could go with Stealth.
I love the suggestions! I do like the nighthawks name!
I think it makes the most sense to expand to the NE first with DC and Michigan already with teams, I’d do Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New Year, and Boston. Or if money is still tight expand south, New Orleans, Orlando, OKC, and Albuquerque
My idea for a league with 12 teams:
East: D.C Defenders, Michigan Panthers, New Jersey Generals, Columbus Aviators.
Central: St.Louis Battlehawks, Memphis Showboats, Birmingham Stallions, New Orleans Breakers
West: Houston Roughnecks, Arlington Renegades, San Antonio Brahmas, Seattle Sea Dragons
That sounds awesome! I like your ideas and the 3 divisions with those teams being brought back! thanks for the comment!
Yay an Ohio team!!!
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 I actually wanted San Diego and Orlando instead. But that’s how the divisions fell based on the existing teams and the 2 he recommended coming back.
I'd love to see Albuquerque get a team Give people the state of New Mexico somebody to cheer for since they don't got any pro teams
Chicago Top priority!!!
They would Probably do well if they had an nfl team with fan turnout
Oakland makes perfect sense.
You have to factor in two things. You don't want to compete with an NFL team for fans, and you don't want to compete with an MLB team, and to a lesser extent an NBA or NHL team, for the people's entertainment dollar. The thing with spring football is that the schedule overlaps the seasons of 3 of the 4 major sports.
I'm from Ohio I would like to see a ufl team in Cleveland
Ive been seeing the support for it! Hopefully it happens, it’s a great market for team!
Columbus would be better than Cleveland.
Hey man, what about Chicago.
Chicago needs a team 3 years ago.
Agreed they should get a team! They have a huge population and I could them bringing in a lot of fans
Chicago Blitz
Look, financing operations cost is huge for and upstart league. Expansion has to be reasonable & geographic as possible. Expansion should consist of 2-4 cities... I wouldn't venture more than that for a few years, to reassess the economy, landscape & marketability, and more corporate sponsors, including positioning the league to the NFL as a Minor League system. For now, Canton & Oklahoma City would be the top two; if desire to expand by four, I would venture into new markets, untouched by either league, such as Lexington/Louisville and Albuquerque. I wouldn't expand again until a partnership with NFL or huge corporate sponsorship; or if the League continue the business market path in place, after the 1st two suggestions for expand, I previously espouse, no sooner than 2028, to assess if the league is building a following.
I think grand rapids Michigan could hold a ufl team as it’s frowning very fast and they guy got approval for a new soccer stadium that could be used for football
I doubt if even if the two leagues merge if they last, they don't have very good attendance.
Also: move the Breakers to San Diego, the Vipers back to Tampa or OKC, and move the Gamblers to either Vegas or Atlantic City.
Savannah Revolution
I find it very hard to believe that Louisville has the lowest NFL viewership in the country. Louisville has a population of nearly 800,000 and the nfl is extremely popular here especially for a city without its own team. You can find home team bars with fans representing probably every NFL team in this city which are jam packed every Sunday of the season especially lots of Browns, Bengals, Colts, Bears, Vikings and Baltimore Ravens.There are also many more who travel to Bengals, Browns, Colts and others games.
The gamblers are still here in Houston. They’re using all the gambler players, and the roughneck name only.
Bring UFL to Pensacola!
That would be awesome!
Market is too small !!!
Same as for Mobile even though the Gulf coast is beautiful ❤
Just a heads up about Kentucky, I lived there for 5 months and no one cared about any sport other than college basketball. Trust me on this. There is no football market there.
Louisville, maybe a little bit more than UK
Where in the heck did you live in Kentucky? Louisville is full of football fans and would thrive with dedicated fans since there are no other pro sports here. I believe Lexington would as well. Try attending a college game at UofL or UK and you will see just how much people love football in the bluegrass.
Idlikme to see UFL teams in Miami, Tampa, Seattle, San F4rancisco, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Buffalo, and maybe Philadelphia
I think the UFL works better when they locate their Teams in "smaller" cities or in Former NFL cities.
Savannah Georgia
Yo Denver would be a amazing city for this
Would love to see them get a team!
Me personally I would like Cincinnati
Albuquerque all day!!!
Maybe one day, Albany will have its own UFL team in the future. They use to have a hockey team, the River Rats, and a football team the Empire. Hopefully they can come up with a new team and be part of the UFL league.
Hopefully so! I’m sure they definitely plan on expanding into that New York market, and I think Albany would be a hit. And the River rats is awesome team name lol
every one but atlanta is great they should do this instead of the first list
Minnesota should get any UFL team!!
They definitely should! Would be awesome
In Wisconsin, especially Milwaukee, where would you play? Phoenix, do you really want to compete with MLB spring training? Oakland, San Diego get that. What about Salt Lake City, Portland, Orlando.
Milwaukee before Chicago.!?!?!?
What about a UFL team in Virginia?
Savannah ga😊
That would be awesome!
@@NostalgicSports48
Too small !!!
😅NO NFL CITIES!! Take it slow! San diego, Louisville, OKC, Portland, Sacramento, Columbus Ohio, Omaha, Vancouver
Yes!
The last thing it needs to do is expand
San Jose Invaders
San Jose would be a much better choice than Oakland.
New York
I’m sure the league will want to go there for that market! Hopefully the generals will be back in New York or jersey
Wow you missed the fastest growing big city and metropolitan area in California…Sacramento
Orlando ist the fastest growing City in the USA and the Cut the Guardians.
Carolina???
How about they make it through a season before we even think of talking expansion.
What cities do y’all think the UFL should expanded to?
Somewhere in Colorado or Mississippi (2 states not involved in the ufl) not to far away from the other teams at all and if they tried to expand fast they could get them cheaply as well as a few of the other cities you mentioned like Atlanta and Louisville
@@PhysicalMediadudeI could see both, Mississippi has awesome college fanbases. So does Colorado and they have the broncos at there. I could see that working
@@PhysicalMediadudethat would be pretty cool if pulled off correctly
@@cinemalover4027definitely
Syracuse NY, playing in the dome
Said it in 2020. Teams on pause will be back but if you want a team in Nebraska, I would call them the Nebraska railmen. North Platte Nebraska had the world's largest rail yard at one time. Born and raised Nebraskan just giving his thoughts.
Buffalo New York
Cleveland Fitzgeralds. Lol.
😂😂😂
Give Minnesota one. The Minnesota muskies or Minneapolis muskies.
I like that idea!
No one wants anything to do with Oakland
I tend to agree with you about Oakland, unfortunately. It looks like a tough place to try to get a UFL team established there. However, maybe a team in San Jose? And call it the Bay Area (insert logo name here). Just an idea.
2 videos not 1 nod for Denver or Colorado Springs smh
What About Indianapolis
They definitely deserve a team when the league expands!
San Diego is a turrible place for an expansion team imo. The city barely supported the chargers. Plus there's a lot to do in San Diego. San Diego is a mini LA. Oakland is the better fit. I'd stay away from the southern CA market period. Southern CA fans aren't as passionate about their sports teams the way they are on the East Coast and the South. At least not in football. Quite frankly I think expanding West would be a waste of money for the time being. I would only recommend expanding West if the UFL gains more popularity and becomes profitable. Atlanta is another one I would say no to. It's too much going on in Atlanta for them to support a UFL team. Milwaukee is more of a basketball town. Kentucky I could see. New Mexico? Eh. Better than San Diego. I've been following these spring leagues for a long time. And just because a city supports college and the NFL doesn't mean they're gonna support a minor league team. The UFL is doing it right by having the teams in certain geographic locations.
California taxes to hard ..
I like Milwaukee & Louisville , I believe a team in Chicago will work if the team play the game at the new Northwestern stadium that opens in 2026.They also need to bring the Philly Stars , NY/NJ & LA market back if the UFL wants better TV ratings. The Denver Gold , Seattle Sea Dragons Vegas Gamblers and the Oakland Invaders. ( silver& black uniforms) I have a problem with San Diego and the ATL. San Diego have a new stadium that holds 35,000 and they can't get 20,000 fan at the San Diego State games in the fall. Now Atlanta is the worse city to get fan support in the south. Have you watched a Hawks or Falcons game on Tv ? The place look half full , I could be wrong but, that what it looks like to me. Now the Braves get great support ,but the games are played in Cobb County and the last time the ATL had a spring team was 2019. The Alliance Football League, less then 7,000 fans showed up for their first home game!!!!.. I hope for a 20 team league ,4 division with 5 teams The UFL will need more teams if the NFL start sending the league more QB,s
I think New York area gets 2 New York lost the Guardians and have a Guardians Generals rivalry even that or bring back the Hitman elther way New York could have 2
Gotta call you on Oakland. Sorry, the city is DEAD. When the Raiders were there, they also had the worst attendance of any NFL team. Flee in abject terror from Oakland CA!
Having lived the Atlanta AAF (Alliance of American Football) experience, I can tell you that spring ball might be a harder sell in the ATL than you think. Granted, the Atlanta Legends were AWFUL, but I still expected to see more than 6,000 - 8,000 people in the stands.
Louisville has the lowest NFL television viewership in the country. Won't work. And El Paso or Oklahoma City would be better than Albuquerque. Also, Oakland is a shit hole. San Jose or Sacramento would be a better choice there. And Milwaukee would work but for the fact there is no football stadium anywhere in close proximity to Milwaukee. Chicago is a better option at the new Ryan Field that opens this year. If it's me, you have four divisions of four. A: Sacramento, San Diego, Arizona, and Las Vegas. B: OKC, Arlington, Houston, San Antonio. C: St. Louis, Memphis (or move Memphis since attendance is low), New Orleans, and Birmingham. D: Washington, Michigan, Pittsburgh, and Ohio. Then after a decade or more assuming the league is successful you add 4 teams, adding one team to each division: Seattle, El Paso, Atlanta, and Philadelphia.
Lol..The league has NO plans to expand anytime soon, and the ROCK has stated thar several times..WTF is WRONG with you?
They not going to give GA any team
