Oklahoma City chosen to be expansion site for UFL

Oklahomans love football and will be getting even more of it in 2028. The United Football League is expanding to the Sooner State in the spring of 2028. The unnamed Oklahoma City team will play in the to-be-constructed downtown multipurpose stadium.

“We’re excited to be part of Oklahoma and bring back a pro spring football league to a city and state that loves football,” UFL co-owner Mike Repole told The Oklahoman. “To me, this is the perfect market for a UFL spring football team.”

Currently, there are eight teams in the UFL, a league formed through a merger of the XFL and the USFL. With Dallas, St. Louis, and Houston, there are opportunities for rivalries to be formed in the expansion.

Oklahoma Sooners in the UFL:

• Drake Stoops, WR, Dallas Renegades
• Andrew Raym, OL, Birmingham Stallions
• Tyrese Robinson, OL, Birmingham Stallions
• Amani Bledsoe, DL, Birmingham Stallions
• Isaiah Coe, DL, Birmingham Stallions
• Tre Norwood, DB, Birmingham Stallions
• Adrian Ealy, OL, D.C. Defenders
• Michael Tarquin, OL, DC Defenders
• Dashaun White, LB, Orlando Storm
• Marcus Major, RB, Houston Gamblers
