The Portland Breakers were an American football team that played in the United States Football League (USFL) in the mid-1980s. Before moving to Portland, Oregon, the franchise was previously in Boston, Massachusetts as the Boston Breakers and New Orleans, Louisiana as the New Orleans Breakers. A new United States Football League – legally distinct from its predecessor, but using its team nicknames – is scheduled to begin play in April 2022, and a new version of the New Orleans Breakers, coached by Larry Fedora, will be one of eight teams competing.
