The USFL will be back for a second consecutive season with kickoff set for April, and the spring league made sure that fans who have the football itch can scratch it and do it in an affordable way.
In 2023, the USFL will have different hubs across the U.S. and games will not be played only in Alabama like it was last year. Ford Field in Detroit, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis, Tennessee, and Protective Stadium in Birmingham will all host teams this season.

USFL head of ticket sales and service Brett Zalaski added, "Access to a full season of major professional football in world-class venues ranging from $25 to $120 makes our season ticket packages a spectacular value. Fans will have unlimited ticket flexibility to exchange them, transfer them, or sell them. It's truly a fan-first offering that makes for a great experience."
