The Stallions have won three consecutive championships, which includes the inaugural UFL title last year. With this in mind, the Stallions are trying to continue their success in 2025.

The Birmingham squad will be led by their star wide receiver Deon Cain. He had 33 receptions for 436 yards and three touchdowns last season, which made him one of their best offensive players. He did not find much success in the postseason, so Cain will look to bounce back this afternoon.

The Defenders struggled last year, as they ended the regular season with a 4-6 record. The team also had one of the worst defenses in the UFL, as they conceded the second-most points.
