Since its collapse in 1985, the USFL hasn’t played a single game, however with it back, know the full teams mascots list for 2022
The spring league, or at least a part of it, will return in 2022.
The new USFL has little to do with the previous USFL, although its objective is substantially the same. The league intends to fill the hole during the NFL offseason, when there is no action, by hosting live football games.
The main difference between the new and old leagues is that the new one recognizes that it will not be able to compete with the NFL.

What is the USFL?
The USFL, which will debut in 2022, is the most recent spring, start-up league. The league will consist of eight clubs that will compete in a 10-week regular season and a two-week tournament to decide the champion.
The current USFL has nothing to do with the previous USFL, which ran from 1983 to 1985. It does, however, possess the rights to the previous league’s trademarks. That’s why the eight clubs are named after original USFL teams and have branding that’s close — if not identical — to theirs.
Along with NBC’s family of networks, Fox Sports holds minority ownership in the news USFL and will broadcast all of the league’s games (NBC, USA, and Peacock).
Brian Woods, the founder of another spring start-up called The Spring League, will be the president of the USFL. Darryl Johnston will be the executive vice president of football operations with Mike Pereira serving as the head of officiating.
