The 2023 USFL season was the second season of the United States Football League.[1][2] The regular season started on April 15 and ended on June 18. The postseason began on June 24 and ended with the 2023 USFL Championship Game on July 1. The league expanded the locations their teams play to four total stadiums, adding Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, and Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis, Tennessee.
With the league beginning its second season on April 15, the USFL became the first American spring league since the World League of American Football to complete its first season and return for a second.[3] This ended up being the USFL's last season before it merged with the XFL to form the United Football League.
