Seven NFL teams do not have cheerleaders in the 2023 season, according to multiple sources. These teams are:
- Buffalo Bills
- Chicago Bears
- Cleveland Browns
- Green Bay Packers
- Los Angeles Chargers
- New York Giants
- Pittsburgh Steelers
The New York Giants are the only NFL team that has never had cheerleaders, while the Cleveland Browns have unofficially tried them over the decades, the last time being in 1971. The Green Bay Packers had their squad disbanded in 1988 by former player and Head Coach Forrest Gregg, citing them as a distraction to the players and fans focus on the actual game of football. However, the Packers sometimes have cheerleading squads from nearby colleges to rouse the crowd.
