The Map We Are Building

The Professional Football League™ is structured for exactly 32 member clubs — one per city, capped permanently. No more. This is not a growth-at-all-costs model. It is a precision build, designed so that every market matters and every owner has skin in the game.

We are currently identifying founding owners across the following target market tiers:

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

(Final city selections will be confirmed through owner applications, market analysis, and stadium partnership agreements.)

What We Are Looking For in a Founding Owner

You do not have to have owned a sports franchise before. You do have to:

• Believe that professional football can be built equitably
• Have the financial standing to support your market (see Franchise site for investment details)
• Be connected to your city — not just capital in it
• Be ready to build before the crowds arrive
