One date has been circled on the calendar for the eight USFL teams since the beginning of the 2023 season: July 1.
And it's finally here.
The Birmingham Stallions and Pittsburgh Maulers are the last two standing in a quest for USFL history, hoping to etch their names into the history books as champions.
Birmingham has been the league's best all season long and provided even more evidence of that after dismantling the New Orleans Breakers to win the South Division. Likely league MVP Alex McGough's talent was on full display in a game that quickly became a blowout after the opening quarter.
They've only lost twice all season in the tougher of the league's two divisions. Now the Stallions get a chance to become back-to-back champions as they match up against the Pittsburgh Maulers.

The Maulers won the north with a 4-6 record, but had their hands full with the Michigan Panthers in the opening round of the playoffs, which might spell doom for them against a well-oiled Stallions machine.
These two teams met in Week 4 — a game the Stallions won, 24-20. While it was close on the scoreboard, it was close in the box score as well thanks to two turnovers forced by the Maulers' USFL-best defense. Will the top-ranked offense prevail or does defense really win championships?
