  • UFL: Memphis, Michigan, and San Antonio Markets Are Out, Potential Expansion in 2028
    Oct 3 2025

    Per the UFL;The United Football League is committed to delivering the most accessible and innovative football experience every spring. This offseason, in partnership with our new ownership group, we’ve refreshed our vision for the league with a focus on playing in more intimate venues that elevate the fan experience and bring unmatched energy to game day.As part of this process, we conducted a thorough review of all markets and venues. After careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to depart from the Memphis, Michigan, and San Antonio markets. Unfortunately, the stadium options currently available in these areas do not align with our new vision.As we look ahead to potential expansion in 2028, we remain hopeful that the right venues will become available in these markets so we can return and once again bring UFL football to these communities.Further details about the league’s new markets and venues will be shared in an announcement next week.Thank you for being a fan and joining us on this journey. We can’t wait to kick off an incredible 2026 season with you in March!Best,Russ BrandonPresident & CEOUnited Football League#UFL #UFLNews #UFLExpansion
