Stallions face “must win” home game + world champ eater Joey Chestnut in town
Reading time: 2 minutes

Giddy up Birmingham! This Saturday our Birmingham Stallions are playing at Protective for the UFL’s final playoff spot.
It is also likely the last Stallions UFL home game for 2026.
What do the Stallions need to do to make the playoffs? First, take care of business and beat the Houston Gamblers.
If we can do that, the Stallions need help on Sunday.
In a nutshell, we need the DC Defenders to defeat the Orlando Storm AND the Columbus Aviators defeat the Louisville Kings during the May 31st slate of games.
If everything falls into place, the Stallions will appear in the playoffs for the 5th consecutive year.
First things first Stallions fans… win on Saturday.
Here are the details:
- Gametime: Saturday, May 30, 2:00PM
- Location: Protective Stadium
- Tickets: Birmingham Stallions Ticket Central
