The Memphis Xplorers were a professional arena football team. They were a 2001 expansion member of the af2. They played their home games at DeSoto Civic Center in Southaven, Mississippi (a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee).

On October 11, 2006, the team announced that they would not return for the 2007 season. [1]

In October 2007, local teacher Patrick Smith and a partner purchased the Memphis Xplorers for $100,000. There are plans to bring the team back for the 2009 season, with the possibility of the team's name being changed to the Midsouth Mafia.
