The final game of the UFL Opening Weekend kicks off when the Houston Roughnecks host the Memphis Showboats on Sunday afternoon.
This is the first year of the UFL after the XFL and USFL merged last year. The league consists of eight teams and opening day started on Saturday. The opening game for this new league was between the 2023 XFL champion Arlington Renegades and last year’s USFL champions, the Birmingham Stallions. The Stallions won the opener 27-14 on Saturday. The final game of the second day of play will be between the Memphis Showboats and Houston Roughnecks. The Showboats and Roughnecks are both in the USFL Conference after both played in the league last season. The Showboats are trying to improve on a 5-5 record from last season where they finished fourth in their division and did not reach the playoffs. Memphis is led by former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley who is the inaugural coach for the Showboats.

The Roughnecks were known as the Houston Gamblers in the USFL for the 2022 and 2023 seasons. With the merger, they assumed the identity of the former XFL team the Houston Roughnecks. Houston also finished last season 5-5 and third in its division and didn’t make the playoffs. Curtis Johnson will once again be the head coach after leading the Gamblers last season. Johnson has held various positions with the New Orleans Saints and once was head coach for Tulane. Will the new league change the fortunes of both the Showboats and Roughnecks and finally propel them into the playoffs?
