They were announced as one of the inaugural teams for the revived Arena Football League (AFL), playing its lone season in 2024.

Four years after the AFL folded for the second time, it was announced on February 1, 2023, that the league intended on relaunching in 2024.

On November 14, 2023, a press release announced that the team would be officially called the Minnesota Myth.

[7] Chairman Chris Chetty noted that Hutton's structuring of the league through a shell company tied to the Myth violated his contract with AFL trademark holder G6 Sports Group, a fireable offense.

On May 13, 2024, in an email from owner Diana Hutton, the Myth became the fourth team to suspend operations blaming it on "negative publicity" and the owners for "sabotage" in order to force her husband Lee Hutton to resign as commissioner.
