The states included are Iowa, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Connecticut, Delaware, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

USFL Executive Vice President, Business Operations, Edward Hartman, said, “We look forward to our fans being able to bet responsibly on USFL games in every state where sports wagering is legal.”

The USFL comprises eight teams, the Birmingham Stallions, Houston Gamblers, New Orleans Breakers, Tampa Bay Bandits, Michigan Panthers, Pittsburgh Maulers, New Jersey Generals, and Philadelphia Stars.

The USFL will play its first game on April 16 at 7:30 p.m. The game will feature the New Jersey Generals taking on the Birmingham Stallions.
