American Sport From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2026 Birmingham Stallions season is the fifth season for the Birmingham Stallions and their third in the UFL. The Stallions failed to improve from their 7–3 record from last season following their Week 4 shutout loss to the expansion team, the Orlando Storm, which was the first regular season shutout in UFL history. They also failed to match it following a Week 5 loss to the defending UFL champions, the DC Defenders, which was also played at home.
