On March 18, 2022, Major League Football launched a new website and revealed that there will be only four teams for the first season.[2] On May 6, after some delays and many candidates, MLFB hired their fourth coach for 2022 season Earnest Wilson,[3] which was most recently the head coach at Defiance College.[4] The league would later reveled he will coach the Arkansas Attack.[5]

The Attack started their training camp on July 21.[6] One week later, the team was evicted from its hotel amid unpaid bills and reports of the league shutting down.[7]
