History

Original Logo used from 2022 through 2023

The Outlaws will be the third indoor football team to be based in Billings following the original Billings Outlaws (2000–2010) and the Billings Wolves (2015–2016).

Champions Indoor Football (2022–2023)

On April 30, 2021, Keith Russ and Tel Koen, owners of fellow Champions Indoor Football (CIF) team the Wyoming Mustangs, announced they would bring an expansion CIF team to Billings for the 2022 season. A name-the-team contest was held, with the Outlaws being named the winner on July 22. Despite using the original Outlaws' name, logo, and colors, the current Outlaws are considered to be a new franchise with no other connection to the previous Outlaws, but continues to market itself as a continuation.

In June 2022, it was announced Steven Titus, a Gillette, Wyoming, attorney purchased the Outlaws and Wyoming Mustangs. On August 29, 2023, the Outlaws were announced to become members of the third incarnation of the Arena Football League. Titus named the Mustangs' head coach, Cedric Walker, as the new head coach of the Outlaws.

Arena Football League (2024)

In 2024, the CIF merged with the latest incarnation of the Arena Football League along with remaining members Rapid City Marshals, Salina Liberty and Southwest Kansas Storm while the Omaha Beef, Sioux City Bandits and Topeka Tropics opted for the National Arena League and the Gillette Mustangs folding. The league faced massive turmoil and owner Steven Titus led the charge to oust league commissioner Lee Hutton III as the league was cut in half during the season with teams either folding or being removed from the schedule. Despite all of the turmoil, the Outlaws played on and made the playoffs as the #1 seed in the revamped system. The Outlaws would make it to ArenaBowl XXXIII, which was played at American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and face the Albany Firebirds. The Outlaws won the championship 46–41 over the Firebirds giving the Outlaws their first championship of any kind since the original Outlaws won their last title in 2010.

Arena Football One (2025-future)

On September 4, 2024, the Outlaws announced they were leaving the collapsed AFL and helping to form the new Arena Football One league, with team owner Steven Titus serving as league chairman. They will play in the West Division along with the Arizona Bandits, Oregon Lightning and Washington Wolfpack.
