USFL releases schedules, home dates for Canton games

The United States Football League released their team schedules for the upcoming 2023 season on Tuesday.


The revived league is entering its second season, having previously played from 1983 to 1985.

After playing all of its games exclusively in Birmingham, Alabama last season, the USFL moved forward with its plan to gradually filter the teams to their local markets.


The USFL selected four cities to feature two teams, each sharing the same stadium, cutting down on costs as the league aims to gradually grow over time.


Birmingham returns as one of the host cities, along with Memphis, Tennessee, Detroit, Michigan and Canton, Ohio.

The games in Canton will house the New Jersey Generals and the Pittsburgh Maulers, with all their home games being played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.


The first game will feature both teams on April 23 at noon and then the two will square off again in the final game of the regular season on June 17.


Sunday, May 7 will feature a double-header as the Generals will face the New Orleans Breakers in the early game. The second game will see the Maulers against the defending champion Birmingham Stallions.


Another notable game will be on June 3, as Pittsburgh welcomes the Houston Gamblers to town. Former Ironton football standout Mark Snyder serves as an assistant coach with the Gamblers.
