Overview

  • The UFL said Thursday it will place a team in Oklahoma City starting in the spring 2028 season.
  • The club will play at the downtown MAPS 4 multipurpose stadium with about 10,000 seats, which breaks ground in June and will be managed by Echo Investment Capital.
  • League president Russ Brandon said Oklahoma City is one of two expansion markets planned to bring membership to 10 teams within two years.
  • Details such as name and colors will come later, with the historic Oklahoma Outlaws name under consideration and a ticket waitlist already open at OKCForSoccer.com.
  • UFL co-owner Mike Repole and Mayor David Holt cited Oklahoma’s strong football culture and the new downtown venue, matching the league’s push for smaller stadiums that create full, lively crowds.
