Spring football is coming back to Columbus.
The United Football League says the Columbus Aviators will begin play in 2026 at Historic Crew Stadium.
Columbus is one of three new locations for the eight-team league, which will also have teams this season in Orlando and Louisville.
The league also has franchises in Birmingham, Dallas, Houston, St. Louis and Washington, D.C.
It's not Columbus' first foray into spring football. The Ohio Glory of the World League of American Football played one season at Ohio Stadium in 1992.
An arena league team, the Destroyers, played at Nationwide Arena from 2004-2008 and again in 2019.
