Birmingham head coach Skip Holtz said he is looking forward to some great matchups this season.

“With nine Saturday games and one Sunday game and being on each network five times, we think this schedule will allow the Stallions and the UFL a lot of exposure to gain new fans and give our loyal fans a chance to see us more,” Holtz said. “We’ll have the opportunity to play in Arlington and San Antonio at least once, and we’re excited to have St. Louis and D.C. in Birmingham this season. I’m not a fan of snakes, so having D.C. here in Birmingham means we don’t have to face the beer snake there! The schedule allows a lot of our fans to get out to see us in our favorite city of Birmingham five times this season and maybe even travel to see us on the road.”

The UFL’s games will be broadcast across FOX and Disney-owned networks, with FOX Sports leading the way with 21 games to be broadcast on FOX affiliates, including WBRC FOX6.

“We can’t wait to kick off the United Football League’s inaugural season and showcase the league’s exceptional on-the-field play to football fans across the country,” said Bill Wanger, FOX Sports EVP, Head of Programming & Scheduling. “Perhaps most critically, this new partnership brings unprecedented distribution for spring football with nearly three-quarters of games airing on broadcast television. It is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the league office, media partners and host cities to maximize exposure to contribute to the UFL’s success.”

Other opening weekend matchups include St. Louis traveling to Michigan on March 30 on WBRC FOX6 and D.C. going to San Antonio and Houston hosting Memphis, both on March 31.

Protective Stadium will again be the home of the Stallions as they look to continue the success they had in the USFL, winning back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023.

“We are equally excited to welcome new and returning fans back into our buildings this season so they can immerse themselves in the energy around spring football,” said UFL President and CEO, Russ Brandon. “Our players are here to perform and to reach the next level and our fans are going to be treated to an excellent on-field product and in-stadium experience.”
