Only 8 teams will play in the 2023 USFL team but before the start of the season there was discussion about a possible expansion that in the end did not take place.
The cities that host USFL teams are known to be packed with football fans and attendance numbers are likely to be higher than expected.
Like in the NFL, USFL teams are named after the city they are representing or at least that’s the idea with their names.
