The USFL Conference title is up for grabs when the Birmingham Stallions (7–3) host the Michigan Panthers (6–4) at Protective Stadium, live on ABC and ESPN+. Birmingham has dominated Michigan twice already this season, and is 6–0 since 2022. The Stallions are looking to charge on their reign of dominance after winning two USFL Championships (2022, 2023) and the 2024 UFL Championship. With a trip to the 2025 UFL Championship game on the line, the Panthers look to end the Stallions’ spring league three-peat and score their first victory over the franchise since the original USFL in 1983 and end the 41-year drought.
Here’s how to watch the action live on the field.
