United Football League Puts Headquarters in Arlington

Arlington, Texas, will become the year-round football operations home for the United Football League, which kicks off its second season in late March.

The UFL is the merger of the XFL and relaunched USFL, two previous spring professional football leagues. The headquarters will encompass multiple facilities in central Arlington, which will serve as the football hub for all eight UFL teams — the Arlington Renegades, Birmingham Stallions, Michigan Panthers, Houston Roughnecks, Memphis Showboats, San Antonio Brahmas, St. Louis Battlehawks and D.C.

UFL Owner Dany Garcia, UFL President and CEO Russ Brandon, UFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Daryl Johnston and Arlington Mayor Jim Ross made the announcement during a ceremony at the league’s new offices located at Ballpark Circle in Arlington.

Beginning with training camps in March and continuing through practices during the 10-week regular season and two-week postseason, Arlington will host over 600 players, coaches and staff who gather to meet, train and practice.

“The United Football League is excited about opening the doors to our new UFL headquarters in Arlington,” said Brandon. “We want to thank the honorable Mayor Ross, the City of Arlington, and the entire North Texas region where we hope to forge the future of the game and become an integral part of football history.”

UFL HQ will consist of five centralized facilities, including the league offices, Choctaw Stadium and three practice locations in the area. The main building will house the UFL team offices, training rooms and content studio. Choctaw Stadium will house the UFL Performance Center. The offices at UFL HQ will also serve as the home of a Football Advancement through Sports Technology to test and launch innovations.

“The United Football League’s decision to open its headquarters and player training facilities here is a huge win for the City of Arlington and for fans who will visit from across the country each spring to see their favorite UFL teams,” said Ross. “As the sports and entertainment capital of Texas, Arlington is thrilled to showcase the incredible talent of the UFL’s eight teams and create unforgettable experiences for their fans.”
