Reading time: 2 minutes
The USFL playoffs and championship game is moving from Birmingham to the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio.
According to CBS 42, USFL officials said the move was due to Birmingham’s Protective Stadium being unavailable at that time due to The World Games, which will be held this summer.
Kick off on April 16th
The USFL begins its inaugural season on April 16 at the Magic City’s Protective Stadium with a game between the hometown Birmingham Stallions against the New Jersey Generals.
There will be a 10 week regular season, with all 40 games played in Birmingham.
There are two divisions:
South
- Birmingham Stallions
- Houston Gamblers
- New Orleans Breakers
- Tampa Bay Bandits
North
- Michigan Panthers
- New Jersey Generals
- Philadelphia Stars
- Pittsburgh Maulers
The playoffs will begin June 25, as the top two teams in each division face each other in the league’s semifinals. The final two teams will play in the inaugural USFL Championship Game on July 3.
The World Games 2022 opening ceremonies begin on July 7th at Protective Stadium.
