2012 was the fourth and final season of the United Football League. Four teams began what was originally scheduled to be an eight-game schedule beginning September 26, 2012. The league ceased operations on October 20, 2012, after four weeks, extensive financial problems and dismal attendance figures. At the time of the cessation, the Las Vegas Locomotives had compiled a perfect 4-0 season to date, thus by default giving them their third UFL Championship.  The league originally stated it would resume the season some time in spring 2013, but the majority of two teams' players filed legal action against the league that winter to claim unpaid salaries, and the league did not set up the necessary agreements to continue by the time spring 2013 had come along.  On the field, the Las Vegas Locomotives rolled over the league by an average margin ov victory of 17.8 points per game.  Although there were no playoffs, it was quite obvious that the Las Vegas Locomotives were the undisputed 2012 champions of the United Football League.
