UFL schedule for Week 2 games: San Antonio Brahmas, Memphis Showboats open play April 6
The UFL returns for Week 2, with two matchups on Saturday featuring teams that won last week and two matchups Sunday of teams looking for their first wins.
Week 1 featured a couple amazing moments. First, Jake Bates — a kicker who hadn't attempted a field goal since high school — booted a 64-yard game-winning field goal for the Michigan Panthers. Then, a fake punt led to a wild Thicc-Six play in the San Antonio Brahmas' win.
What sort of mayhem might UFL Week 2 have in store for football fans?
Here's what you need to know to catch the gridiron action this weekend:

What is the UFL?
The UFL is a merger between two competing spring professional football leagues, the USFL and XFL.
The recreated USFL — with team names harkening back to its 1980s ancestor — opened play in April 2022 with all eight teams headquartered and playing home games in Birmingham, Alabama. For the 2023 season, the league expanded its home stadium footprint.
Dany Garcia and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson purchased the XFL out of bankruptcy for $15 million and rebooted the 2020 version of the league. The XFL was successfully able to complete its first season in 2023.
The new, merged league was announced on Dec. 31, 2023.
