The USFL returns for the second season of its revival, and it's going to look slightly different this year.
Many of the rules are still the same, with the most notable changes coming to the kickoff, which is moving back to the 20-yard line from the 25, and the clock running after incomplete passes in the second and fourth quarters in addition to the first and the third.
In addition, seven of the eight original teams will return, but the Tampa Bay Bandits are going to be replaced by the Memphis Showboats this season.
The Birmingham Stallions are the defending champions, and will still be host site in this year's iteration of the USFL. However, Ford Field in Detroit, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, and Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis will all serve as USFL venues.
