UFL to Add Oklahoma City Team in 2028

The UFL has announced plans to launch a new team in Oklahoma City for the 2028 season, part of an expansion to 10 teams.

The United Football League confirmed Thursday morning that it will place a new franchise in Oklahoma City for the 2028 season. The to-be-named team will play in a downtown, 10,000-seat stadium currently under construction.

This expansion comes as spring football continues to face challenges in gaining widespread popularity. The UFL, formed by merging the USFL and XFL, has adapted by moving teams to smaller stadiums to create a more intimate viewing experience amid ongoing efforts to establish sustainable footing in the American sports landscape.
