The United States Football League (USFL) is a new, independent football league that is not affiliated with the defunct 1980s league or its owners. The inaugural USFL season kicked off April 16 with eight teams split into two divisions: the Birmingham Stallions, Houston Gamblers, New Orleans Breakers, and Tampa Bay Bandits in the South Division; and the Michigan Panthers, Pittsburgh Maulers, New Jersey Generals, and Philadelphia Stars in the North Division. Each team will play a 10-game regular-season in Birmingham. Playoff semifinals begin in Canton on June 25 between the top two teams in each division and a championship game on July 3 between division winners. Each USFL team carries a 38-man active roster plus a seven-man practice squad. Players receive base compensation and are eligible for victory bonuses. NBC Sports and FOX Sports are the League’s official media partners and will present all 43 regular- and postseason games on FOX, FS1, NBC, USA, or Peacock networks.

For folks who don’t think they can watch on Peacock without signing up for the Premium service: if you have Xfinity internet, you can watch. They are running a promotion currently that users of Xfinity X1, Xfinity Flex, or Xfinity Internet can watch Peacock Premium for free. Create a Peacock account. Link to your Xfinity account. Then you can watch via the Roku Peacock channel. Worked for me this past Sunday!
