For the first time in 2023, the USFL is set to take center stage in the football world this weekend.
The XFL is in the midst of a bye week prior to its championship game in San Antonio on May 13 and the NFL Draft is all wrapped up, meaning that the USFL is the only show in town. All of the action kicks off on Saturday in Detroit before shifting over to Canton, Ohio, on Sunday.
So far, the first four weeks of the season have delivered some exciting finishes -- most recently with a last-second touchdown by Houston to defeat Memphis. Will it keep up in Week 4 and finally win over the attention of football fans?

Saturday, May 6
Gamblers (1-2) vs. Stars (1-2)
- Kickoff: 1 p.m. ET
- TV Channel: Fox
- Live stream: Fubo
It's a battle of 1-2 teams at Ford Field as the Houston Gamblers get set to take on the Philadelphia Stars. Houston rallied to find its first win in Week 3 after nearly blowing the lead they built. With 18 seconds left in the fourth quarter, quarterback Kenji Bahar tossed a touchdown pass to secure the win, 30-26. On the other side, Philadelphia got off to a quick start this season with a win in Week 1, but have fallen victim to defeat in the following two games. The Stars will look to get back on track as the halfway point of the season approaches.
Showboats (0-3) vs. Panthers (2-1)
- Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET
- TV Channel: NBC
- Live stream: Peacock, Fubo
The Showboats have been anything but this season, unless you look at them in the same light as the Titanic. They've been outscored 99-51 through three games. Can they get off the schneid in Week 4? It won't be an easy task against a stingy Panthers defense that has allowed the second-fewest points in the league.
Sunday, May 7
Breakers (3-0) vs. Generals (2-1)
- Kickoff: 3 p.m. ET
- TV Channel: NBC
- Live stream: Peacock, Fubo
Sunday's action kicks off on NBC with a matchup between division leaders -- the New Orleans Breakers and New Jersey Generals. The Big Easy's team has lit up the scoreboard so far this season, averaging 35 points per game, and has progressively gotten better with each passing week. New Jersey has won two of the past three, making this matchup the one to watch this weekend.
Stallions (2-1) vs. Maulers (1-2)
- Kickoff: 6:30 p.m. ET
- TV Channel: FS1
- Live stream: Fubo
Closing out Week 4 in Canton is the Birmingham Stallions against the Pittsburgh Maulers. To this point, the Steel City is by far the lowest-scoring team in the league at 13 points per game, but has hung around in games thanks to a good defense. Birmingham owns the second-highest scoring offense -- second to only their counterparts in New Orleans. In a battle of offense vs. defense, it'll be interesting to see how this one goes.
