How to Watch the Entire 2024 USFL Conference Season of the New UFL

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!

I’m excited that while the USFL no longer exists as a standalone league, it lives on as a conference within the new United Football League (UFL). What makes this even better is how accessible the games will be to watch. I can stream all the action easily, and with my digital antenna, I’ll even be able to catch several games completely free.

In a hurry? All the USFL games this season appear on Fox, ESPN, ABC, FS1, and ESPN2. Get all of these and more with these streaming services:

IMPORTANT: Once you’ve installed your VPN and connected to a US server, you’ll still need to subscribe separately to access premium streaming services.

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.
