The Pittsburgh Maulers were a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but played their home games in Canton, Ohio. The Maulers competed in the United States Football League (USFL) North division.
Founded in 2021, the Maulers were one of the eight inaugural teams for the re-launch of the original United States Football League which ceased operations in 1986. They played their home games at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio in 2023, which also hosts the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. Prior to Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, the Maulers had played their home games in Protective Stadium and at Legion Field in 2022. The Maulers posted a 3–15 record through their first 18 games, identical to the original Maulers franchise during its lone season in 1984. However, the Maulers then won their final two games of the 2023 season to clinch the USFL North division title, and then won their first playoff game to advance to the 2023 USFL Championship Game.
On December 19, 2023, the USFL informed its players union that the Maulers would not be included in the league's upcoming merger with the XFL.
