Billings Outlaws

The Billings Outlaws have announced that the team will go dormant for the 2026 season as part of a search for a new location. The franchise, which captured ArenaBowl XXXIII in July 2024, cited rising operating costs, insufficient municipal and state support, and challenges with attendance—even with ticket prices as low as $10—as factors contributing to the decision. The team, formerly a member of the Arena Football One league, plans to explore relocation options while ensuring the franchise’s continuity. Despite its competitive success, the team’s long‑term viability in Billings remains uncertain. The club is seeking alternative venues and potential ownership solutions to maintain operations beyond 2026.
