In their inaugural season, they secured the national championship within theAmerican Arena League (AAL).[1] They are current members of theNational Arena League as of 2025.
TheNorth Texas Bulls started in the American Arena League.[2] Under the leadership of Head Coach Victor Mann and front office management of Jordan Lott,[3] they secured the AAL national championship, defeating teams including theCharlotte Thunder and theSan Antonio Gunslingers.[4]

The Bulls were rebranded as theDallas Bulls for 2025 and beyond and are rumored to be joiningArena Football One.[8] As of January 13, 2025 - Dallas has a chance of becoming an AF1 team as it was announced theWichita Regulators would sit out until 2026. Because of this the league has 11 teams if Dallas joins they will be 12. The AF1 did not authorize this claim and has consistently warned teams seeking to join the league to not prematurely announce any association with AF1.[9] AF1 instead contracted theWilkes-Barre/Scranton Mavericks to bring the league to an even 10 teams.[10]
On August 13, 2025, the Bulls were announced to have once again joined theNational Arena League replacing the departedBeaumont Renegades and becoming the third expansion team in the league for 2026 joining theAmarillo Warbirds andPueblo Punishers.[11] When the 2026 NAL schedule was released, the Bulls announcedFair Park Coliseum as their new home arena.[12]
