UPDATE (July 14, 2022): I'm excited to unveil this opportunity to preserve the entire video library of the USFL. These videotapes were the league's archive until being turned over to Halcyon Days Productions in 1985. An estimated 400+ games remain preserved on tape. The videotapes won't last indefinitely, however, and the footage must be converted to a digital format to be preserved and accessed. How can you help? Check out the USFL Video Library Preservation GoFundMe campaign. Please contact me, Paul Reeths, with any questions.

Check out the searchable USFL stats from the Stats Crew.

Order the book, The United States Football League, 1982–1986.

1984 USFL Season


We currently have 442 game stories, 413 boxscores, 10 photos and 775 video clips online for 455 USFL games (including preseason and playoffs) from 1983-1985. Please contact us if you have any of the preceding or additional information about USFL broadcasts. Thank you to Chris Blackburn for videos, boxscores and supplementary material throughout. Additional thanks to rambler11370 and Matco Sports for assistance with video clips and Tom Hefner for help with boxscores.
