Old: 2002


New: 2023-present

The USFL has merged with the XFL to form a new spring football league called United Football League (UFL). The UFL has a similar name to a previous UFL that played from 2009-2013 but is not affiliated with that league.

The Birmingham Stallions, Memphis Showboats and Michigan Panthers have joined the new league, while the New Jersey Generals, New Orleans Breakers, Philadelphia Stars, and Pittsburgh Maulers have folded.

Due to the XFL and the USFL both having Houston based franchises, a compromise was made where the Houston Gamblers will be rebranded as the Houston Roughnecks. As a result, the XFL Roughnecks have folded and the new Roughnecks (formerly Gamblers) will maintain all the Gamblers' coaching staff and player rights.

The USFL lasted two seasons.
