There is a familiar feeling to the USFL officiating setup. There will be six USFL referees, and they will head up a seven-person crew. Four of the refs and their respective crews will work each week, and there are a total of 48 officials split between those six groups.
USFL Referees
The USFL officials are led by Mike Pereira in his role as officiating supervisor, as well as leading the replay operations. He will be supported by the coordinator of officiating — Steve Strimling — and a game supervisor — Ronnie Baynes. The six referees are drawn from four of the Power Five conferences. Those referees and their conference allegiances are as follows:
- Derek Anderson | Big 12
- Bryan Banks | Big Ten
- James Carter | SEC
- Stewart Mullins | ACC
- Adam Savoie | ACC
- Larry Smith | Big Ten
