The Arkansas Stars are a professional Indoor football team based out of Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States. They are planning to found the Ultimate Indoor Football League in 2007. They play their home games at Randal Tyson Track Center on the University of Arkansas campus. The team was a 2006 expansion member of the National Indoor Football League.

Notable players include receiver Darrian Chestnut and defensive tackle Chris Charles (who weighs 467 pounds). Also, their clutch kicker Stephen Arnold. Arnold joined the team after three games and made an immediate impact nailing the game winning extra point in overtime of his first game to give the Stars their first franchise win.

The team had announced their move to the Ultimate Indoor Football League in 2007, then were linked to the NAIFL when the UIFL and NAIFL announced their merger. When the NAIFL decided not to begin operations, Stars management announced that the UIFL would play in 2007.
