UFL schedule for Week 4 games: D.C. Defenders vs. Birmingham Stallions in big matchup
View
Date:2025-04-13 09:09:13
The UFL enters its fourth week of play with just one unbeaten team.
That'd be the Birmingham Stallions, an apparent start-up spring pro football league powerhouse after winning each of the championship games of the reimagined USFL before the league merged with the XFL.
This week, the Stallions put their undefeated record on the line Saturday night against the D.C. Defenders at Birmingham's Protective Stadium. The Defenders enter the game at 2-1 and entered the new UFL as one of the top teams of the XFL, having reached the title game last season.
The UFL will have a pair of high-octane matchups for fans to choose from Saturday night, with the San Antonio Brahmas hosting the Michigan Panthers in a matchup of 2-1 teams.

What is the UFL?
The UFL is a merger between two competing spring professional football leagues, the USFL and XFL.
The recreated USFL — with team names harkening back to its 1980s ancestor — opened play in April 2022 with all eight teams headquartered and playing home games in Birmingham, Alabama. For the 2023 season, the league expanded its home stadium footprint.
Dany Garcia and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson purchased the XFL out of bankruptcy for $15 million and rebooted the 2020 version of the league. The XFL was successfully able to complete its first season in 2023.
The new, merged league was announced on Dec. 31, 2023.
