The USFL has 8 teams and will run a 10-week regular season from April 16 through June 19. All regular-season games will be played in Birmingham, Alabama. The playoff semifinals will take place on June 25 with the championship game slated for July 3. The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio will play host to the USFL playoffs.
Because the USFL is a new league, gaming regulations vary by state. DraftKings Sportsbook will also have a limited content menu due to the unique rules of the league. Wagering on the USFL is not available in IN, WV and NY.
