The new United Football League kicks off with the USFL champion Birmingham Stallions taking on the XFL champion Arlington Renegades on Saturday afternoon.
The United Football League was announced as the premier spring football league out of the merger between the USFL and the XFL nearly three months ago. On Saturday afternoon, the first year of the UFL begins with the champions of each league in 2023 meeting to kick off Week 1.
The Birmingham Stallions, who won back-to-back titles, will face off against the Arlington Renegades, who topped the D.C. Defenders in the XFL Championship. Skip Holtz will lead the Stallions for the third consecutive season and is returning some familiar players in quarterback J’Mar Smith and running back C.J. Marable. The team also welcomed Matt Corral and Adrian Martinez to the quarterback room as well.
