The city of Memphis, Tennessee, is on the cusp of a major sports revival as sources close to the situation have unveiled to 4 Star Sports Media that the city will soon unveil a new arena football league team named the “Memphis Hound Dogs.”
Sources Indicate Memphis Set to Welcome Arena Football’s Memphis Hound Dogs
According to insiders with direct knowledge of the developments, the team is poised to join an emerging arena football circuit, bringing high-energy indoor pro football back to the Bluff City for the first time in years. The name pays homage to Memphis’s rich musical heritage, evoking Elvis Presley’s iconic hit “Hound Dog” and nodding to a historic – though unfulfilled – NFL expansion bid from the 1990s that also carried the Hound Dogs moniker.
What makes this particularly intriguing is the expected official announcement coming directly from Graceland, the legendary home and estate of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. This connection suggests deep ties to Elvis Presley Enterprises or related entities, blending the city’s cultural legacy with its growing sports scene. The team is anticipated to play home games at a modern venue, capitalizing on Memphis’s passionate fan base and its history of supporting pro football ventures.
This move comes as arena football continues to expand across the South and Midwest, with recent announcements highlighting new franchises in markets hungry for affordable, exciting gridiron action. Memphis has a storied – if intermittent – relationship with professional football, from past teams like the Mad Dogs (CFL) and Pharaohs (AFL) to more recent efforts. The Hound Dogs could mark a fresh chapter, potentially launching as early as the 2026 season.
We have also learned through sources close to the situation that details on ownership, coaching staff, and ticket information are forthcoming.
