The UFL Conference Championships are this weekend featuring Birmingham Stallions vs Michigan Panthers on ABC and San Antonio Brahmas vs St Louis Battlehawks on Fox. Watch them both on Fubo!

The United States Football League (USFL) originally started in 1982 as a spring league to follow the NFL season. It was notable for introducing some innovations to the game that have taken hold like the two-point conversion. But it dissolved after just three seasons due to spiraling costs, over-aggressive growth, and legal issues.
But in 2022, it came back. And in 2023, the United States had two spring football leagues (the other is the XFL) — both of which featured strong players from NCAA football and new and older players from the NFL.
But in 2024, the USFL and XFL merged to become what is certain to be a stronger spring football league, the UFL. Get all the information in our UFL Guide.
