Salt Lake City Comets

The Salt Lake City Comets are a professional American football team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Comets compete in the World Football League (WFL) as a member club of the league's American Division. They were founded as one of six founding franchises in 2022. They play their home games at Apollo Field at Nucleus Stadium in downtown Salt Lake City. The Comets are led by head coach Lane Frost. Since the team's establishment in 2022, the Comets have won one division title and played in one Gold Bowl Championship game.

2020–2024: Early Comets
The Salt Lake City Comets were founded on September 14, 2021, by Jesus Shuttlesworth II and Morgan Greensmith. The 2022 Salt Lake City Comets season was their inaugural regular season completed in the newly formed World Football League (WFL). Matt Mooney served as the team's head coach and offensive coordinator during his time with the Comets.

In 2022, the Comets were one of the worst teams in the WFL, winning only one game out of seven. While being a horrid franchise to begin with, the Comets caught fire in their 2023 campaign finishing with a 4–3 record while having a chance to play in the 2023 American Bowl. After defeating the Vancouver Lancers, they played the Egyptian Pharaohs in Gold Bowl II. They would go on to lose the game 42–32. The Comets would not reach the playoffs two years in a row after their 4–6 finish in the 2024 season. In January 2025, C.J. Broussard pursued the purchase of the Comets from Shuttlesworth.

2025–present: Lane Frost era
In 2025, it was announced that C.J. Broussard would be the new owner of the Salt Lake City Comets. After the Comets had a 4–6 record in 2024, Broussard hired Lane Frost as the new Salt Lake City head coach for the 2025 season.

With a whole new coaching staff, the Comets regressed to 0–10 in 2025. The Comets were rumored to move out of the Salt Lake City area and rebrand their team after only four seasons. General manager Aiden Frost stopped the rumors after becoming the full-time owner of the team when Broussard fell ill and had to hand the reins to someone else. Aiden Frost was also backlashed for bringing back his brother, Lane, for another season after not getting a single win in his first season. Bigger problems arose when former first overall pick, Roman Reigns, requested a trade from the Comets.



After only one season with the team, Reigns was traded to the Montreal Dragons for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick after he threw a league-record 15 interceptions in 2025.
