In its most recent outing, Birmingham defeated the San Antonio Brahmas 25-0 in the inaugural UFL Championship Game on June 16 at the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis.

Born in the USFL revival in 2022, the Stallions won that league’s championship back-to-back before the merger of the USFL and XFL moved Birmingham to the UFL for last year’s spring-football season.

Birmingham went 9-1 in its first regular season, then won two playoff games, including a 33-30 victory over the Philadelphia Stars in the USFL Championship Game on July 3, 2022.

In their second season, the Stallions had an 8-2 regular-season mark and won two postseason contests again, this time capping the campaign with a 28-12 victory over the Pittsburgh Maulers in the USFL Championship Game on July 1, 2023.

Birmingham went 9-1 in the 2024 UFL regular season, then defeated the Michigan Panthers 31-28 in the USFL Conference Championship Game on June 8 before avenging its only loss of the campaign in the league title contest. The Brahmas had beaten the Stallions 18-9 on May 25.

Skip Holtz has been the coach for all three championship teams, and he returns for the 2025 season.

Birmingham again will be competing in the USFL Conference with Houston, Memphis and Michigan.

The USFL Conference Championship Game will be played on June 8 and the UFL Championship Game is set for June 14.
