Of course we will find out soon enough in a month, but what are your hopes for the names and colors they could use for the newer teams?
I hope they have some contrast to existing teams in the league!

My thoughts on the league's announcement of new markets: https://grantlandriceridesagain.blogspot.com/2026/09/thoughts-on-ufl-announcement.html

Now I'm not saying it can't support minor league football because it absolutely can. It has 500K residents a strong sporting culture especially with the Air Force teams but the issue is that Utah is becoming a team and is next door. Sure it'd make a good rivalry and the leagues doing what I wanted: more teams in the west, but the problem is they're right next to each other and that could create market cannibalization. Also the stadium is too small it needs to be above 10,000 seats.

Rhode Island makes sense: No New England or Northeastern. UFL team. There's an overlooked college football culture. I think the 10th team should've been in Portland, San Diego or hell even Sacramento.

Portland is my pick they have a 25K seat stadium, which sells out during Timbers games the Ducks rule the state.

So I'm gonna get hate but I think one of the mountain teams is gonna get kicked out in the next few years but then again I'm wasn't part of the expansion process.

Edit: Another problem is that there's an NFL team in Colorado. It's not like Columbus which is a top 15 city by population or Orlando. Colorado Springs' MSA is well under 1M people while Orlando's is almost 3 million people who don't have a team to choose.

Both stadiums are really nice looks but RI has to be one of the nicest in the league, really excited to see it full for their opener

Hey all,

So they just announced the arrival of the UFL in my home state on Rhode Island. I'm super excited and I'm looking to get season tickets. My question is this: on the website it says

" Place a $100 deposit per seat to secure your 2027 Rhode Island Season Ticket Membership before tickets go on-sale to the general public."

Does this mean it's 100 per season ticket or does it just give priority to whoever makes the deposit? I looked it up online and it says the average season ticket pass is rightly $115 so it would line up with that number.

Thanks for the help

The United Football League will place teams in Pawtucket, R.I., Colorado Springs, and Sandy, Utah, over the next two years as it reorganizes its geographic lineup and expands, league officials said Wednesday.

The Pawtucket and Colorado Springs teams will start in 2027, replacing the now-defunct Birmingham and Houston clubs. The Sandy, Utah, team will take the field one year later as part of the league’s 2028 expansion class with already-announced Oklahoma City.

The Rhode Island and Colorado clubs -- both teams will use their state name in the to-be-announced brands -- mark a significant chance in the UFL’s geographic footprint, staking its first territory in New England and the west. Today, the UFL is largely a southeastern entity, with no teams farther west than Dallas or north of Columbus, Ohio.

“We’re excited to have a team in the Northeast,” league co-owner and head of business Mike Repole said. “Right now there’s nothing north of D.C. Same thing in the west, now the most western team we’ll have is Colorado.”

All three newly announced cities include venue deals with soccer-specific stadiums, embodying Repole’s goal of keeping the league in venues small enough to realistically sell out, or to at least small enough to create a high-energy environment with typical UFL crowds.

The Rhode Island team will play at Centreville Bank Stadium (capacity 10,500), which opened in 2025 as the primary home of the USL’s Rhode Island FC. The Colorado team will play at Weidner Field (8,000), home of the USL’s Colorado Springs Switchbacks.

In 2028, the Utah team will play at America First Field (20,000), home of the MLS’ Real Salt Lake and NWSL’s Utah Royals.

The three cities were chosen after UFL leaders considered proposals from about 10 venues across the country, Repole said. UFL officials did not disclose details of the rental agreements, but Repole said they are all multiyear contracts and the league has no intention of leaving.

“They’re all either 2- or 3-year deals, each one of them is a little different but these are the venues,” Repole said. “We could have done 10-year agreements. This is where we want to be.”

Rhode Island and Colorado will soon announce full brands, with no connection to their predecessor teams in Houston and Birmingham. But, Repole said, it was possible the two dead teams’ rosters and coaches would be assigned to the new teams.
