Boston Breakers Franchise History
“Our City, Our Team”
1983: A Storm Begins
The Boston Breakers crashed into professional football in 1983, making an immediate splash with a dominant 13-5 inaugural season. The team’s hard-nosed play and loyal fanbase quickly made them a New England staple—until dark clouds loomed on the horizon.
1984: Saved by the Fans
Rumors swirled that ownership planned to sell—and move—the franchise. But Boston refused to let its team slip away. Rallying like a nor’easter, fans pooled their resources in a historic grassroots effort to buy the Breakers, ensuring football stayed where it belonged: in Boston, for Boston.
1984-1985: Weathering the Storm
The transition to fan ownership came with growing pains. Back-to-back 6-12 seasons tested the city’s resolve, but true to their name, the Breakers—and their fans—held strong. The foundation was set for a resurgence.
1986: The Dunigan Era Dawns
This offseason, the Breakers made waves across the football world, signing CFL superstar quarterback Matt Dunigan to lead the charge. A fearless playmaker with a championship pedigree, Dunigan embodies the toughness of Boston itself—and the fans believe he’s the spark to reignite the storm.
The Future: Unfinished Business
From near-lost franchise to fan-owned pride, the Breakers aren’t just a team—they’re a testament to Boston’s heart. With Dunigan under center and the city behind them, the next chapter starts now.
This is our city. This is our team.
