The USFL is a new professional football league that will present traditional American football games, played by skilled football players with proven ability, at a high level. The USFL will consist of eight teams playing a fourteen game regular season schedule, two playoff games and a championship game; all played in the spring and early summer to avoid competition with the NFL and major college fo
otball. The USFL is a developmental league, offering players the opportunity to refine their skills and showcase their abilities at a professional level. Teams will be located in cities large enough to support a USFL team but not presently served by major league sports. The USFL will pursue cities that do not have an NFL team and/or a MLB team. The USFL will not repeat the mistake of previous attempts to kick off before being fully prepared, so we will not begin play until all capitalization has been secured, teams and stadiums have been selected, local management is in place and coaches and players have been given ample time to present a first-class quality football product.
