Indoor Football League: The new IFL franchise in Oklahoma City will be called the Oklahoma City Bricktown Brawlers when the team starts play in the 2011 season. The IFL team replaces the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz franchise that was part of the 2010 Arena Football League and announce it would not return in 2011.
United Football League: The UFL has announced it will start its 2011 season in August instead of October. All five current teams are expected to return and the league will add the new Virginia Destroyers as its sixth team. The league is evaluating markets for its seventh and eighth teams that it would like to add in 2012. The league apparently was ready to announce Portland (OR) as an expansion city, but had to pull back on that announcement. Los Angeles is a good possibility for expansion and the league is looking at Utah, Mississippi, Hawaii, and other markets without National Football League teams.
Canadian Football League: The CFL is working on an expansion draft proposal for its new Ottawa-based franchise that is expected to start play in the 2013 season. The city's last team was the Ottawa Renegades, which folded after the 2005 season.
