The Pottsville Maroons were a professional football squad hailing from Pottsville, Pennsylvania, in the early 20th century. Established in 1920, they were a member of the National Football League (NFL) during its early stages. The Maroons gained recognition in the NFL in 1925 when they achieved an impressive record.

A significant moment in the team's history occurred in 1925 when they played against the Notre Dame All-Stars, led by the renowned coach Knute Rockne. Although Pottsville initially claimed victory over Notre Dame, the NFL later revoked this win due to a dispute over territorial rights. This incident remains a contentious and discussed topic in NFL history.

Despite the controversy, the Pottsville Maroons are remembered as early contributors to professional football in Pennsylvania and played a role in the growth of the NFL during its early development.
