The United States Football League’s inaugural season — in its re-booted form — is almost here, as the season kicks off with four games this weekend. The USFL has not played in 37 years, but this spring it will make a return as a new league with the same name.
It’s an eight team league with a 10-week regular season and a two week postseason (here’s everything you need to know). The USFL is broken down into the North Division and the South Division, with four teams in each. The inaugural draft took place in February, allowing each team to select 35 players. A secondary draft was held in March, where teams added another 10 players (here’s a look at every team’s roster).
The names of each team are a nod to the original USFL teams, which existed from 1983 to 1985. The season will begin on Saturday with a primetime game between the New Jersey Generals and the Birmingham Stallions, and each regular season weekend will have four games. Below we’ll break down how you can watch all four games this Saturday and Sunday. They’ll all be held in Birmingham, Alabama and you can stream them on fuboTV (Try it for free).
