Via Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal , the UFL will be leaving three markets for its third season, in 2026.
“Due to stadium constraints, the available venues in these areas do not align with our new vision of focusing on smaller, more intimate settings that elevate the fan experience,” the UFL said in a statement to Fischer.
The UFL previously announced that it will put a team in Columbus, and that it will play its games in the Columbus Crew’s MLS stadium. Other potential destinations include Louisville, Orlando, and Boise.
