The Alabama Airborne are a professional American football team based in Mobile, Alabama. The team is member of the Major League Football (MLFB), a public traded professional football league, and plays its home games at Ladd–Peebles Stadium.
The Airborne are part of the league "Core Four" teams.[1] They are the first pro football team in Mobile since the Regional Football League Mobile Admirals.
On March 18, 2022, MLFB launched a new website and revealed that there will be only four teams for the first season.[2] The Airborne weren't part of the initial announcement, as the plan was to put a team in Texas (Texas Independence) but after the league couldn't secure a stadium deal on time, they changed their plans and relocated the team to Mobile, Alabama six weeks before the start of the training camp.[3] [4] The Airborne started their training camp on July 21.[5] One week later, the team was evicted from its hotel amid unpaid bills and reports of the league shutting down.[6]
