Wikipedia - Birmingham Stallions (2022)
The Birmingham Stallions are a professional American football team based in Birmingham, Alabama. The Stallions compete in the United Football League (UFL) as a member of the USFL Conference. They were a founding member of the second iteration of the United States Football League (USFL) in 2022. The Stallions are owned and operated by Dwayne Johnson's Alpha Acquico and Fox Corporation, and play their home games at Protective Stadium. They have won three league championships since their founding, defeating the Philadelphia Stars 33–30 in 2022 and the Pittsburgh Maulers 28–12 in 2023 as part of the USFL, and most recently the San Antonio Brahmas 25–0 in the inaugural UFL Championship Game in 2024.
History
The Birmingham Stallions were one of eight teams officially announced as a USFL franchise on The Herd with Colin Cowherd on November 22, 2021. On January 6, 2022, it was revealed that former NCAA coach Gene Chizik would become the head coach of the Stallions. Chizik confirmed the report, but the parties have yet to agree. He ultimately took a deal to become the defensive coordinator for North Carolina two days later. On January 20, 2022, it was announced on The Herd with Colin Cowherd that former NCAA football head coach Skip Holtz was named the head coach and general manager of the Stallions.
The Stallions finished the 2022 regular season with a 9–1 record, winning the South division title and clinching the South division's first seed. The Stallions hosted their first South Division Championship game, facing the second-seed New Orleans Breakers. The Stallions defeated the Breakers 31–17 and advanced to the 2022 USFL Championship Game.
On July 3, 2022, in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, the Stallions played against the North division's second seed, the Philadelphia Stars. Following halftime, the Stallions led by eleven points, but a 4-yard Stars' touchdown narrowed the Stallions' lead to five points with 5:17 remaining in the third quarter. On the Stallions' next possession, they were forced to attempt a 38-yard field goal, which was missed. Then Philadelphia's Case Cookus found Devin Gray in the end zone for a touchdown two plays later. The Stars attempted and converted a two-point conversion. This gave Philadelphia a 23–20 lead, their first of the game. Following a pair of field goals and a 26–23 lead with under three minutes remaining, Scooby Wright had a 46-yard interception returned for a touchdown to seal the game for the Stallions effectively. Victor Bolden Jr. won the USFL Championship Game Most Valuable Player Award.
Following the 2022 season, the Stallions hired Zachary Potter. He previously held the title of team director during the Stallions 2022 season.
In September 2023, Axios reported that the XFL was in advanced talks with the USFL to merge the two leagues prior to the start of their 2024 seasons. Officials in Birmingham were assured that the Stallions would be part of the merged league should the union go forward. On September 28, 2023, the XFL and USFL announced their intent to merge with details surrounding the merger to be announced at a later date. The merger would also require regulatory approval. In October 2023 the XFL filed a trademark application for the name "United Football League". On November 30, 2023, Garcia announced via her Instagram page that the leagues had received regulatory approval for the merger and were finalizing plans for a "combined season" to begin March 30, 2024. The merger was made official on December 31, 2023.
The Stallions continued to play in the UFL in 2024 and 2025, winning the inaugural UFL championship and eventually losing in the USFL conference championship in 2025. Relations between the UFL and Birmingham began to deteriorate in 2025, amid declining attendance, the moving of the league's hub from Birmingham to the XFL's former home in Arlington, Texas (and the resulting absence of the team from the city except on game days), and the eventual cancellation of plans to host the 2025 championship in Birmingham in favor of a second consecutive year in St. Louis. Birmingham mayor Randall Woodfin released a statement stating that he had been assured that the league had not yet decided to relocate out of Birmingham, contrary to reports that emerged in late July. Holtz stated that Birmingham "is our home (...) we're putting together a 2026 team for the Birmingham Stallions (...) until somebody tells us different." Stallions fans launched a campaign to save the team after the reports emerged. On August 16, incoming league co-owner Mike Repole responded favorably to the efforts and indicated that the Stallions were safe in Birmingham for at least the 2026 season but that the team would have to sell at least 15,000 tickets per game for the year to survive beyond that, aiming to sell 5,000 season ticket deposits. He also mentioned the possibility of moving in-market to Hoover Metropolitan Stadium to provide a more intimate experience and fuller stadium. On August 22, Repole acknowledged the 5,000 number was rhetorical and declared the campaign a success after 2,200 deposits (and a corporate suite sale) were collected, setting a goal of 20,000 tickets for the opening game at Protective Stadium, including his own.
