## History
### American Arena League (2021)

The North Texas Bulls started in the American Arena League. Under the leadership of Head Coach Victor Mann and front office management of Jordan Lott, they secured the AAL national championship, defeating teams including the Charlotte Thunder and the San Antonio Gunslingers.

On September 27, 2023, the North Texas Bulls made an announcement confirming their move to the National Arena League (NAL). On February 17, 2024, the league announced that they had terminated the membership of the Bulls without the Bulls playing a single game.

### New beginning (2025-future)

The Bulls were rebranded as the Dallas Bulls for 2025 and beyond and are rumored to be joining Arena Football One. As of January 13, 2025 - Dallas has a chance of becoming an AF1 team as it was announced the Wichita Regulators would sit out until 2026. Because of this the league has 11 teams if Dallas joins they will be 12. The AF1 did not authorize this claim and has consistently warned teams seeking to join the league to not prematurely announce any association with AF1. AF1 instead contracted the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Mavericks to bring the league to an even 10 teams.
