Despite significant offseason changes, including AJ McCarron taking on the head coach role, the Stallions remain equipped with offensive power.

Birmingham Stallions Eyeing 4th Spring Title In 5 Years
Birmingham enter the new season looking to rebound from a disappointing 2025 campaign that saw their stranglehold over spring football come to an end.
The Stallions entered the UFL in 2024 having won back-to-back USFL championships, and following the league’s merger with the XFL they took the inaugural United Football League championship to complete a three-peat.
However, they were unable to make it four championship-winning seasons in a row last year, despite posting a winning 7-3 regular season record.
Birmingham’s campaign – and their dominance of spring football – was finally ended by a 44-29 defeat to Michigan in the conference finals in 2025.
The Stallions have undergone some serious changes since then, with former St Louis Battlehawks quarterback AJ McCarron taking over from Skip Holtz as head coach – but can he lead the team back to the summit in his rookie year?
Louisville Kings Entering Debut Season
Louisville are one of three newcomers to the United Football League for the 2026 campaign.
During the offseason it was confirmed that the Memphis Showboats, Michigan Panthers and San Antonio Brahmas would not be returning this year.
Instead those three teams would be replaced by the Kings, Orlando Storm and Columbus Aviators.
Louisville will be led by first-time head coach Chris Redman – a former NFL quarterback who has previously been involved with an indoor team in the city.
Verdict
The switch from Skip Holtz to AJ McCarron leaves some major question marks hanging over the Stallions, but they do at least have a track record.
Birmingham have been winning games for the past four years so we are leaning towards them against a team that is taking to the field for its first ever games.
