How to Watch Birmingham Legion vs. Hartford Athletic: Stream USL Championship Soccer Live, TV Channel

The Birmingham Legion is just about hanging onto its spot in the playoff stakes of the USL Championship’s Eastern Conference as it prepares to host Hartford Athletic on Saturday

Two-thirds of the way through the 2025 USL Championship campaign, and Hartford Athletic can make up some valuable ground in pursuit of a play-off place if it manages to get one over on the Birmingham Legion in Alabama on Saturday. Brendan Burke’s side sit plum last in the Eastern Conference as things stand but have recently breathed some life into their campaign after winning four and losing just one of their last six league fixtures. Birmingham, on the other hand, is up in eighth for the time being but has played three games more than Saturday’s opponent, not to mention having failed to win either of the last two meetings between these teams.

Almost exactly one year has passed since Birmingham last faced Hartford when the two teams saw out a 2-2 draw at Protective Stadium.

Burke – who is undefeated against the Legion since taking charge in Connecticut – led his side to take a share of the spoils after trailing by two goals, with Michee Ngalina converting the vital 87th-minute equalizer from the penalty spot.

The Legion’s last game ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw against the Phoenix Rising, who scored a 90th-minute equalizer thanks to Charlie Dennis and secured a share of the spoils:

Hartford, meanwhile, is riding a run of two clean-sheet victories over Miami FC and cross-conference rival New Mexico United, beating the latter in a particularly impressive 4-0 triumph.

The latter marked the first time the club has scored four or more goals in a winning result since October 2022 when Hartford defeated the Charleston Battery 6-3.

Birmingham boss Mark Briggs has made some impressive strides since taking over the team this year as the Legion has lost just one of its last six games, though the team has also managed just one league win in that same span.
