The2023 USFL season was the second season of theUnited 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 the2023 USFL Championship Game on July 1. The league expanded the locations their teams play to four total stadiums, addingFord Field inDetroit,Michigan, andSimmons Bank Liberty Stadium inMemphis, Tennessee.

With the league beginning its second season on April 15, the USFL became the first American spring league since theWorld 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 theXFL to form theUnited Football League.

Offseason

[edit]

During the 2022 season, many were concerned about the hub model and attendance figures in Birmingham for non-Stallions games. While the league started strong with 17,500 fans in attendance for the first game, featuring the local Stallions vs New Jersey Generals, they did not release figures for the other 39 regular-season games, which appeared to be played in a mostly-empty stadium.[4][5] The poor attendance and the league's inability to connect with fans in most of their city-named teams' markets was believed to hurt league image and credibility amongst casual and mainstream football fans.[6]

On June 27, 2022, Fox Sports confirmed toSports Business Journal that the USFL would return for another season in 2023, after a "profitable" first season, with an estimated annual revenue of $7.5 million.[7] There would be no team expansion, and the league would continue to use a hub model.[8] Both Fox and NBC were happy with the first season play quality, joint production and the viewership number, while acknowledge the sparse in-person attendance.[9][10] The USFL promised to play 2023 season in two to four cities, and the USFL parent company, Fox, hired investment bankAllen & Company to find minority investors to help fund the league's expansion into local markets.[11][12]

After the conclusion of the 2022 USFL co-founder,Brian Woods, has resigned from his role as the league CEO "for family reasons".[13][14] It would later be revealed that he was launching a spring football league for high school players.[15]

After the season the league saw ten of its coaches joinXFL teams,[16] while some players chose to leave the USFL and join the rival league, including All-USFL andChampionship Game Most Valuable PlayerVictor Bolden[17] and quarterbackLuis Perez, who went on to become theXFL Championship Game MVP.[18] Nevertheless, 180 players from the2022 season got invited to NFL tryouts, while 69 players signed with NFL teams and 13 players finished the2022 NFL season on active 53-man NFL rosters.[19][20] 2022 season MVPKaVontae Turpin, who signed withDallas Cowboys, finished the2022 NFL season as aPro Bowler. Another Dallas signee, former Birmingham Stallions place kickerBrandon Aubrey, set NFL records in 2023 for most consecutive field goals made to start a career and highest field goal percentage by a rookie in a single season.[21]

The league stated its intention to expand the locations in which teams play, from one (Birmingham, Alabama) in the previous season to two or four.[1] In November 2022, the league announced an agreement with Birmingham to continue hosting two of the league's eight teams, the Stallions and the Breakers, atProtective Stadium.[22]

On November 15, 2022, the league announced that it had secured an agreement to play games atSimmons Bank Liberty Stadium (formerly known as the Liberty Bowl) inMemphis, Tennessee.[23]

The league contacted two stadiums in Michigan,Ford Field inDetroit andRynearson Stadium inYpsilanti, as potential locations for a North Division hub, with the Panthers as the host team.[24] It was later revealed that Ford Field would be the home of theMichigan Panthers andPhiladelphia Stars, while Rynearson Stadium would host the teams' practices.[25][26]

On January 25, 2023, the league announced that the New Jersey Generals and the Pittsburgh Maulers (who sported a new gold-and-black uniform color scheme to emphasize the team's Pittsburgh identity) would play their home games atTom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium inCanton, with the Generals as the host team.[27] The stadium will also be the site of both the North Division playoff game and the2023 USFL Championship Game, as it was in 2022.

Teams

[edit]

On November 15, 2022, in conjunction with its agreement to play at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, the USFL announced that theMemphis Showboats would be replacing theTampa Bay Bandits for the 2023 season.[23] The seven other teams in the league returned as they were in 2022.

Players

[edit]

For the 2023 season, each USFL team started training camp with 58-men rosters, with a mandatory cut down to 54 and then a last cut down to 50. The final rosters are 40 active players and 10 inactive players on game days.[29] The league also started a partnership withHUB Football for the 2023 season for players tryouts.[30][31]

Compensation

[edit]

On December 15, 2022, USFL player representatives (United Football Players Association andUnited Steelworkers[32]) and the league parent companyFOX Sports tentatively agreed on a new three-year collective bargaining agreement starting at the 2023 season, six months after the league players voted to unionize. The proposed agreement increases minimum salaries and provides a stronger benefits package than they previously received, and slightly higher than mostXFL salaries.[33] USFL players' minimum salaries will be $5,350 per week, up from the current $4,500 per week payout ($2,500 for inactive players) and $150 a week toward 401K contributions, while weekly performance bonuses will be cancelled. During training camp, all USFL players will get $850 a week.[34] Continuing as a benefit from the 2022 season, USFL players and staff are still able to receive a college degree "tuition-free and debt-free", through a partnership with for-profit universitiesStrategic Education'sCapella University andStrayer University.[35]

The Panthers were victorious 33–21.[36] The New Jersey Generals had their 1st round selection moved to the last pick in the draft and their rounds 2 to 5 picks were penalized due to "a violation of offseason roster management rules".[29]Michigan State offensive linemanJarrett Horst was the first overall pick.[37]

In April 13, the league withBlockchain Creative Labs (BCL), FOX's Web3 media and creative technology company launched an all-new fans loyalty program.[267] In April 14,Upper Deck Announced as the exclusive trading card partner[268] andAntigua Apparel named an "Authentic Sideline Apparel Partner Of The USFL".[269]

Other USFL's sponsors include:FedEx,Gatorade,Henry Schein,Jersey Mike's Subs,Mars,Molson Coors,Rocket Mortgage,T-Mobile andWendy's.[270]

Media

[edit]

This was the second year of the three-year rights deal agreement betweenNBC Sports along withFox Sports (Fox doesn't have to pay a rights fee due to being one of the owners of the league).[271]

Telecasts for the 2023 season will air onFox,FS1,NBC,USA Network andCNBC. Fox aired 17 regular season games and 1 semi-final, NBC broadcast 7 full regular season games plus the first quarter of 1 game on June 10 then the remaining 2 hours of another game on June 11 (originally scheduled to air 9 full games), 1 semi-final and the Championship game this season (rotated annually with Fox on a two year rotation), and FS1 and USA Network broadcast 7 games each, andCNBC broadcast the remaining one of the games on NBC caused by a weather delay on June 10. Unlike the 2022 season, in order to increase the leagues exposure,Peacock will not air exclusive games (however it aired an hour of exclusive game coverage on Sunday June 11). Instead, Peacock will simply simulcast all games produced by NBC Sports. An emphasis will also be made on having high-profile events serve as lead-ins to the league, with some games followingNASCAR andMajor League Baseball broadcasts on Fox or theKentucky Derby on NBC.[272]

Curt Menefee andJoel Klatt will return as Fox's lead commentary team for USFL coverage.Kevin Kugler andMark Sanchez serve as the second broadcast team.Brock Huard will report from the sidelines during selected games.Devin Gardner will also appear on select games.[273]

The NBC crew featuresJac Collinsworth andPaul Burmeister handling play-by-play duties alongside analystsJason Garrett,Michael Robinson andCameron Jordan. Zora Stephenson,Corey Robinson,Lewis Johnson, and Caroline Pineda are the sideline reporters.Colt McCoy,Kyle Rudolph andAnthony Herron are the additional analysts for selected games.

Reception

[edit]

The USFL open the season strong with between 15,000[277] and 20,000[278] fans in Memphis and ~17,000 in Birmingham.[279] Alas, the league second return to play was also marked with the same complaints from the previous season of a lack of fans in the stands in other locations (5,000-8,000 fans in Canton for week 1[280] and approximately 7,500 fans in the Panthers opener[281]) or "neutral site games",[282] while the league announced "it will be maintaining their policy in partnership with their venues of not releasing attendance figures" during the season.[283] It was later reveled that most "neutral site games" had between 800 and 900 fans in the stands.[284] President of Football OperationsDaryl Johnston acknowledged the issue before the championship game and said: "it does motivate us to make sure we get our eight teams into their home markets as quickly as we can, but we can't rush it".[270] After the USFL merged with the XFL, Johnston would acknowledge that the league lacked the raucous fan environments present in the XFL's markets, especially theSt. Louis Battlehawks, and that this had had a negative impact on the USFL's players.[285] He also noted that the Showboats' attendance had dropped substantially over the course of the 2023 season, a trend that continued into 2024, concerning him.[286]

Before the season, some fans felt disrespected of the USFL commercials to promote the league's return, which took aim at the XFL.[287][288] Nonetheless, the USFL week 1 ratings outdraws XFL Week 9, as the USFL averaged 789,500 viewers across four games with the XFL posting an averaged of 588,250 viewers across four games, although three USFL games were on broadcast TV while three XFL games were on cable.[289] USFL average viewership in 2023 was down 16% from its debut season to 601,000 and 3% lower than the XFL's 2023 season, despite having 28 over the airnetwork games compare to the XFL's eight.[270] Johnston himself expressed disappointment and anger that the USFL was comparable to the XFL in ratings for the 2023 season, dismissing the XFL as "no competition" to the "far superior" USFL and questioning how "to be on par with our competition from a ratings standpoint in Year 2, I'm still trying to figure out: How did that happen? (...) they're not even close."[270]

Contrary to the 2022 season, most markets decided to cover the teams locally, while the third week of games received tentative praise from national outlet, with Bill Shea ofThe Athletic writing an article titled "I attended a USFL game so you don't have to (but maybe you should?)" after attending a game between Michigan Panthers and New Jersey Generals.[290]

The league approach to adopt technology got rave reviews, especially for the use of first down measurements technology.[291]
