Courtesy the UFLThe United Football League unveiled the league’s newest team, the Rhode Island Breakers, who are set to begin play in Spring 2027, on Sunday. The team, whose name pays homage to spring football history and the United States Football League team that played in Boston, New Orleans, and Portland in the 1980s, and again in 2022 and 2023 before the merger, will play its home games at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, R. I. They share the stadium with Rhode Island FC of the United Soccer League. “We’re incredibly proud to introduce the Rhode Island Breakers to the community and fans across the Ocean State. This state deserved a team that proudly bears the name ‘Rhode Island’ and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off play right here at Centreville Bank Stadium this spring,” said UFL President & CEO Russ Brandon. The Breakers will begin play in 2027 under head coach AJ McCarron, who won three national championships at Alabama under head coach Nick Saban before playing in the NFL and XFL. They’ll also build from the Birmingham Stallions roster for the team’s inaugural season.

Rhode Island’s state and local taxes and spending are consuming a growing share of residents’ incomes because incomes here are growing more slowly than the nation’s, according to a report released Monday by the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council. The business-backed research group’s annual report, “How Rhode Island Compares: State and Local Taxing and Spending,” ranks the state across 32 revenue and spending categories using U. S. Census Bureau data through fiscal 2024, and compares those rankings with fiscal 2019.
