32 Markets. 32 Opportunities. 1 Mission.
No Waitlist After They’re Gone.
The PFL’s governing structure caps membership at exactly 32 clubs — permanently. Once a market is awarded, it is closed. This is not artificial scarcity. It mirrors the exact governance model that has made NFL franchise territories worth billions.
We are currently in the founding owner selection phase. Markets are being evaluated based on:
- Owner application quality and community connection
- Stadium partnership viability (15,000+ capacity)
- Market size and football engagement metrics
- Alignment with PFL equity and governance values
Tier 1 — Major Markets (10 cities) New York/NJ · Los Angeles · Chicago · Dallas · Houston · Philadelphia · Miami · Atlanta · Washington D.C. · Phoenix
Tier 2 — Growth Markets (12 cities) Kansas City · Indianapolis · Nashville · Charlotte · Denver · Seattle · Minneapolis · Detroit · Baltimore · Tampa · Cleveland · St. Louis
Tier 3 — Emerging Markets (10 cities) Memphis · Oklahoma City · Louisville · Birmingham · Omaha · Albuquerque · Fresno · Richmond · El Paso · Green Bay region
Territories move to “Under Review” once a qualified application is received. There is no second chance at a founding price.
Final city selections will be confirmed through owner applications, market analysis, and stadium partnership agreements.
