In September of 2008, former Senior Vice President of Football Operations of the Jacksonville Jaguars Michael Huyghue was named the  rst LEAGUE Commissioner of the UFL.

™ The 2009 “Premiere” season The 2009 United Football League “Premiere Season” was a success for the mere fact that it was played, given that it had been more than three decades since a professional football league played its games during the traditional fall football season. But the inaugural UFL campaign gave fans exactly what the league said it would - high-quality professional football during a traditional fall season while embracing innovation and fan interaction. In 2009, the UFL  elded four teams - the California Redwoods, Florida Tuskers, Las Vegas Locomotives and New York Sentinels.
