How Many Teams Make the USFL Playoffs?

The 2023 USFL season featured eight teams in action once again. However, only four teams qualified for the 2023 USFL Playoffs; the Birmingham Stallions, New Orleans Breakers, Michigan Panthers and Pittsburgh Maulers. These squads were either the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in each division.

The Stallions enter the postseason as the defending champs after taking down Philadelphia in the 2022 championship game. They were a heavyweight once again in 2023 with an 8-2 record, which was the best mark in the entire league.

In the North division, the Maulers claimed the top seed with a win in the final week of the regular season, pushing their record to 4-6. Meanwhile, the Breakers (South) and Maulers (North) are the No. 2 seeds in each division.
