(WXYZ) — Detroit will be one of the host cities for the 2023 United States Football League (USFL) season, the league announced on Thursday.
Both the Michigan Panthers and Philadelphia Stars will play their home games at Ford Field during the 2023 regular season.
Training camp will happen in mid-March and both teams will start on the road when the season begins on April 15. The first Panthers home game will take place on April 30.
"With the help of some great partners, the USFL is making history by announcing that the Michigan Panthers have returned home in 2023 to play at Ford Field," USFL executive vice president of football operations Daryl Johnston said in a release. "The USFL is proud to be part of the revitalization of downtown Detroit, and we’re excited about turning up the Motown music and firing up a fan base for professional spring football in Michigan."
Memphis and Canton, Ohio join Detroit as new host cities for 2023. Birmingham, Alabama, which hosted all USFL games during the 2022 season, will also serve as a host city in 2023.
