Panthers vs. Stallions live score, updates, highlights from 2024 UFL playoff game

Spring football is in full swing just as the weather warms up.

The UFL title game is on the horizon. But before we get to the biggest stage of the (another) football season, there are a pair of conference belts up for grabs.

One of those matchups, the Stallions’ home matchup with the Panthers, pits a pair of USFL heavyweights against each other. Birmingham (9-1) is the UFL’s best team, holding opponents to an average of 26.5 points per game. The Stallions are led by former Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez. Martinez accounted for more than 2,200 yards of total offense and 15 total touchdowns (15 passing, three rushing). He believes he is a threat — if not the top contender — for the MVP award at the end of the season.

However, the unstoppable force should meet an immovable object when Birmingham faces Michigan, as the Panthers (7-3) are led by Defensive Player of the Year Breeland Speaks, who recorded 9.5 sack- uri in 10 games this campaign. Michigan owns the third-best defense in the USFL, giving up just 19.0 points per game. Styles match. And this one seems to be as attractive as can be.

Sporting News follows live updates from Saturday’s USFL Conference Championship game between the Panthers and Stallions. Watch below for highlights and live scores as two of the USFL’s best teams battle it out for a ticket to the UFL title game.
