UFL Reveals Team Markets, Coaches for 2024 Season
The United Football League announced the eight teams competing in its inaugural season kicking off on March 30. The League will be divided into two conferences: USFL and XFL.
The USFL Conference:
- Birmingham Stallions
- Houston Roughnecks
- Memphis Showboats
- Michigan Panthers
The XFL Conference:
- Arlington Renegades
- D.C. Defenders
- San Antonio Brahmas
- St. Louis Battlehawks
Houston was the one overlapping market between the XFL and USFL and it was one of the strongest markets for both leagues. As a result, the USFL's Houston Gamblers have been rebranded as the Houston Roughnecks.
The UFL's 10-game regular season will start on March 30, with a battle of the 2023 champions: Birmingham Stallions (USFL) vs. Arlington Renegades (XFL). Players will report to training camp on Feb. 24 in Arlington, Texas.
The UFL's head coaches include returning names from both the XFL and USFL. Collectively, they bring decades of coaching and playing experience, a passion for the game and a commitment to expanding opportunities for players.
- Skip Holtz (Stallions)
- Curtis Johnson (Roughnecks)
- John DeFilippo (Showboats)
- Mike Nolan (Panthers)
- Bob Stoops (Renegades)
- Reggie Barlow (Defenders)
- Wade Phillips (Brahmas)
- Anthony Becht (Battlehawks)
The teams and coaches were first announced Monday by Dany Garcia and Dwayne Johnson on ESPN's College GameDay.
