The Cincinnati Commandos are team of the Ultimate Indoor Football League. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Commandos play their home games at the Cincinnati Gardens. Their team is based around Cincinnati area talent, such as Ben Mauk, Dominick Goodman, Robert Redd and Terrill Byrd. Before joining the UIFL, the Commandos played their first two seasons in the Continental Indoor Football League, where they won back-to-back CIFL championships.

This is the fifth attempt at arena or indoor football in Cincinnati, after the Cincinnati Rockers (AFL 1992-93), Cincinnati Swarm (af2 2003), Cincinnati Marshals (NIFL 2004-2006), and Cincinnati Jungle Kats (af2 2007); however, it is the first at the Gardens (all prior teams played at US Bank Arena).
