The new version of the USFL will kick off its inaugural season Saturday, the latest spring football league to make a run at being successful.

The first game is Saturday night in Birmingham, Alabama, between the Birmingham Stallions and the New Jersey Generals, and will air on both Fox and NBC. That will be followed by three games Sunday.

There are eight teams in the USFL, which is owned by Fox Sports, who will play a 10-game schedule during the regular season, followed by a post-season. The original USFL lasted three seasons, from 1983 to 1985.
