ARLINGTON, TX — January 1, 2024 — The United Football League, the premier spring football league, today announced the eight teams competing in its inaugural season kicking off on March 30, 2024. The League will be divided into two conferences: USFL and XFL.

Houston sort of. They officially kept the Gamblers but then changed their nickname and all to the Roughnecks. It was kind of weird.
