A new professional football league is just around the corner. This week, the USFL announced its week-by-week schedule for the 2022 season. There are eight teams in the league and all the games will be played in Birmingham, Alabama. The inaugural game will kickoff on April 16 when the New Jersey Generals take on the Birmingham Stallions. 

In February, the USFL announced the playoffs and the championship game will be played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. “We’re excited to play our first playoffs and championship game at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium,” Edward Hartman, USFL Executive Vice President, Business Operations, said in a statement. “It’s a beautiful stadium with all the facilities necessary to host football at the highest level, and we look forward to crowning our first champion in the shadow of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.”

“We are honored that the state-of-the-art Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium was selected as the destination for the USFL’s 2022 playoff,” Mike Levy, President of Operations for HOFV said in a statement. “Our facility and campus will provide the perfect setting and backdrop for the USFL’s inaugural playoffs and championships, offering fans and guests visiting our destination multiple opportunities to be engaged at the birthplace of professional football.”  Here’s a look at the week-by-week schedule for the USFL 2022 season.
