Eastern Division

Birmingham Vulcans
The Vulcans replaced the Birmingham Americans winners of World Bowl I in December 1974 before suffering financial collapse afterwards. Running backs Art Cantrelle, Johnny Musso, quarterback Matthew Reed and wide receiver Dennis Homan, plus an outstanding offensive line, give the Vulcans probably the most solid offense in the league. Defensively, there are NFL veterans Warren Capone and Larry Willingham leading the way. The Vulcans had the best record in the league with 9 wins and 3 losses.

Charlotte Hornets
Under new ownership with a new nickname and head coach Charlotte started 1975 with high expectations. They signed a lot of the former stars’ players from the 1974 team. The team featured 2 WFL All-Stars, offensive lineman Darrel Bunge and defensive back Larry Shears. Team results 6 wins and 5 losses.

Jacksonville Express
The WFL returned to Jacksonville for the 1975 season with the Jacksonville Express. While head coach Charlie Tate and a few players returned from the Sharks, the Express had new owners who sought to be much more frugal than the free-spending Sharks had been. The team's biggest player acquisitions were quarterback George Mira, who had been co-MVP of the 1974 WFL championship game with Birmingham and had been a college All-American with the in-state Miami Hurricanes, and Tommy Reamon, who had led the WFL in rushing in 1974 with the Florida Blazers. The defense was anchored by veteran linebacker Chip Myrtle. The team was 6 and 5 at the time of the league’s folding.

Memphis Southman
The Southmen were owned by John F. Bassett, who had more resources than most of the other WFL team owners. Bassett gave the league instant credibility by signing three stars from the National Football League's Miami Dolphins: running backs Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick, and wide receiver Paul Warfield for the 1975 season. Injures hampered Larry Csonka and Paul Warfield throughout the season with only Jim Kiick participating in most of the games. Unlike John Gilliam for the Chicago Wind, these 3 performances were subpar below the expectations signed upon. Wide receiver Ed Marshall and Willie Spencer easily outperformed them throughout the season. Danny White in his second season took charge of the quarterback position. The defense was steady and strong led by WFL All-Stars defensive back tandem David Thomas and Seth Miller. Team results 7 wins 5 losses.
 
Philadelphia Bells
The Bell was one of just two WFL teams that maintained the same ownership in both 1974 and 1975. NFL Hall of Famer Willie Wood was the head coach for the entirety of the 1975 season. Signed veteran quarterback Bob Davis former Florida Blazer and he took most of the snaps replacing Jim (King) Corcoran from last year’s team. John Land continued running the ball behind a steady offensive line. Veteran NFL Star Ted Kwalick was signed and did not disappoint the team with his outstanding play at the tight end position. The defense was held together by Tim Rossovich, a WFL All-Star. At the time of league folding the team record was 4 and 7.
 
Western Division

Chicago Wind
The Chicago Wind replaced the Fire for 1975 season. Unlike the defunct Chicago Fire, which sold 15,000 season tickets in 1974, the Wind managed only 1,600. Winds games were not broadcast on TV or radio. Prompting a change in upper management and head coach. The replacement of Babe Parilli was Abe Gibron, the new head coach. Several old Fire players returned as well, Mark Kellar, Cyril Pinder, Guy Murdock (the Fire's MVP), Steve Wright and Chuck Kogut. The Wind acquired veteran quarterback Pete Beathard from the Portland Storm, while wide receiver John Gilliam also came to Chicago. During the limited 1975 season John Gilliam led all receivers in yardage gained after the catch. He would later leave the team and rejoin the Minnesota Vikings for the 1975 season and be named to the NFC All Pro Team. Due to a dispute over partnership arrangements, two major investors withdrew $175,000 that they'd deposited with the league. Prompting the league to terminate play. The Chicago Wind were voted out of the league and folded after 5 games. Results 1 win and 4 losses.

San Antonio Wings
 The San Antonio Wings played in the World Football League during the 1975 season. San Antonio was the only WFL city that did not have a team in 1974. The financially troubled Eastern Division Florida Blazers were relocated west to San Antonio, Texas, including 16 former Blazers players
 Among the ex-Florida Blazers who participated in the league's only World Bowl championship game were running back Jim Strong, tight end Luther Palmer and linebacker Larry Grantham. Grantham retired as a player but joined the Wings coaching staff. The head coach was Perry Moss, a former head coach at Marshall and a former National Football League assistant coach. Veteran NFL quarterback Johnnie Walton led the WFL in passing in 1975. The Wings held their home games at Alamo Stadium, which seated 25,000. San Antonio won the WFL Summer Title and finished with a 7-6 record (winning all seven home games and losing all six road games) before the World Football League folded on October 22, 1975.
 
 Portland Thunder
With new ownership the Portland Thunder took the Storm's place in 1975 and lasted until the entire WFL folded halfway through their second season. The Thunder still suffered from poor attendance like the Storm did. Standout running back Rufus "Roadrunner" Ferguson led the team in rushing. Veteran quarterback Don Horn was signed and enjoyed solid protection from the offensive line adapted at run and pass blocking led by WFL All-Star center Dave Brown. The defense never jelled and struggled throughout the season led by veteran defensive end Bruce Bergey. Team results 4 wins and 7 losses.

Shreveport Steamers
The Steamer returned for the 1975 WFL season with a different coaching staff and owner group. Right from the start, they struggled financially and with poor game attendance. Veteran Edd Hargett quarterbacked the offense with steady play. Jim Nance again was a force at running back. The defense was led by 2 WFL All-Stars Ron Rydalch, a future NFL player and defensive back Larry Jenkins 6 interceptions. At the time of league’s folding, the Steamers won 4 with 7 losses.

Southern California Sun
Former USC greats Anthony Davis and Pat Haden played for the Sun in 1975 along with former Oakland Raiders QB Daryle “Mad Bomber” Lamonica. The offensive line was exceptional with WFL All-Star veteran Tackle Joe Carollo opening holes for Davis 1200 yards from scrimmage. The defense again was paced by WFL All-Stars defensive linemen Dave Roller and Charles DeJurnett. Team results: 7 wins with 5 losses.

The Hawaiians
One of the better operated WFL franchises, the owners never missed paying their players and team bills. This year the team signed former running back Dallas Cowboy Calvin Hill. Unfortunately, he lasted only 4 games before a knee injury ended his season. Another former Dallas Cowboy running back was signed to a game-to-game contract Duane Thomas, but he was only a shell of his former self.  The defense was still led by the defensive linemen, both WFL All-Star Karl Lorch and rookie Lem Burnham. This year’s special teams featured top kick returner Clayton Heath. Team results 4 wins and 7 losses.
