Louisville Kings announce full schedule for inaugural UFL season

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The United Football League released the full schedule for the Louisville Kings' inaugural season Thursday, with five home games at Lynn Family Stadium.

The Kings kick off the season March 27 at home against the Birmingham Stallions, a game that will air on WDRB.

Former Louisville quarterback Chris Redman will be the head coach for the Kings, the United Football League announced Tuesday.

"Are you ready, Louisville? We have our schedule set, and we are kicking off the UFL season with our game against the Birmingham Stallions. I want to see everyone there," Redman said in a news release Thursday. "Let’s pack out Lynn Family Stadium on Friday, March 27. It is going to be electric. Let’s show the UFL what we are all about. We will be ready!"
