The league, which played its first season in 1987 and had six teams in 2019, had suspended local operations in October. It was unable to find a solution to achieve financial viability.

Wells Fargo Center hosted the Philadelphia Soul, who joined the AFL in 2004 and won ArenaBowls in 2008, 2016 and 2017.
