What is USFL?

The USFL, or United States Football League, is a professional American football league in the United States that has operated in two distinct eras. The original USFL was founded in 1982 and played three seasons from 1983 to 1985, competing directly against the established NFL during the autumn months. It folded after winning an antitrust lawsuit but receiving only $1 in damages. The league was revived in 2022 as a spring football competition, aiming to fill the off-season gap for football fans. While American football has a niche but growing following in India, the USFL is largely followed by Indian sports enthusiasts through streaming platforms and dedicated American sports fan communities in cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi. International viewers can watch matches broadcast through digital platforms. For Indian students preparing for general knowledge or sports-related competitive exams, knowing major international sports leagues including the USFL can be useful, though it is less frequently asked than leagues like the NFL or EPL.
