Before the 2024 edition of the UFL, there was a United Football League in the United States. The league operated from 2009-12.
Since 2019, multiple spring football leagues have been created including the Alliance of American Football (AAF), XFL, USFL, and now the UFL. The UFL is the only league still competing.
