Salt Lake City Comets

The Salt Lake City Comets were a professional American football team that played in Salt Lake City from its relocation from Chicago in 2022 to its relocation to Lafayette in 2026. The Comets began play in 2022 as a charter member of the World Football League (WFL). The team won one division title and played in one Gold Bowl championship game.

The Comets competed in the WFL's American division – along with the Minnesota Polar Bears, the Vancouver Lancers, and the Montreal Dragons – before they joined the newly formed Western division. Throughout their existence, the team was owned by Jesus Shuttlesworth Sr. For the majority of their time in Salt Lake City, the team played their home games at Apollo Field, while it was named New Comets Stadium from 2022 to 2024.

The Salt Lake City Comets went to play in the second annual championship of the World Football League, losing to the Egyptian Pharaohs, but they never went to or won another championship. The Comets franchise never was a consistent playoff team during their time in Salt Lake City, an era that included both the team's 1–6 and 0–10 seasons, becoming the first team to achieve the latter.
