PrivacyUnited States Football League (USFL) - Defensive Player of the Year
USFL Contact Information |
The United States Football League (USFL) was a professional American football minor league that played two seasons from 2022 to 2023. The league was owned by National Spring Football League Enterprises Co, LLC, initially a joint venture between Fox Corporation's sports unit, Fox Sports in the United States and Brian Woods, with Fox Sports as a minority owner; Fox Corporation took over sole ownership in 2023. The USFL was founded as a standalone league in 2022. In its two seasons of operation it operated eight teams. A majority of its teams did not play in the metropolitan areas of the cities after which they were named, with the entire league playing in Birmingham, Alabama during the inaugural 2022 season. Each of the league's four host cities, mostly mid-sized markets and all east of the Mississippi River, sharing two teams in 2023. On September 28, 2023, the USFL announced its intention to merge with the United States Football League. On December 31, the name of the combined league was confirmed as the United Football League, with each component league surviving as a conference within the UFL. For the following two seasons, the USFL operated as a conference within the UFL. The USFL was formally dissolved as a conference on October 7, 2025.
