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.

Founding and Mooney era (2022–2024)
In 2021, the World Football League (WFL) passed an agreement to grant the state of Utah a franchise in the newly formed league.

On September 14, 2021, it was announced that Jesus Shuttlesworth II had been awarded a franchise in the WFL in Salt Lake City. In January 2022, the team announced that they would be named the Salt Lake City Comets after Morgan Greensmith, CEO of the team, suggested the name Comets in a team meeting. In a poll, 89% of their respondents picked "Salt Lake City" over "Utah".

In 2022, the Comets only won one game and finished their first season with a 1–6 record.

In 2023, the Comets caught fire and finished the season with a 4–3 record and appeared in their first Gold Bowl championship, with a 0–0 loss to the Egyptian Pharaohs.

In January 2025, C.J. Broussard pursued the purchase of the Comets from Shuttlesworth.

Lane Frost coaching era (2025–present)
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 Carson Frost as the new Salt Lake City Comets head coach in the 2025 season. With a whole new coaching staff, the Comets regressed to 0–10 in 2025. The Comets were suggested 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 being back his brother, Lane, for another season after not getting a single win in his first season. The Comets were granted the number one overall pick but after trading the pick to the Frankfurt Lions they did not have a first-round selection in the 2026 draft. The Comets had the most selections in the 2026 draft with nine total players drafted with them owning or trading away twelve total picks.
