USFL schedule release 2023: List of Houston Gamblers opponents, game dates, times

The United States Football League (USFL) returns on Saturday, April 15 with all eight teams in action. The opening weekend's slate of games will mark the league's second consecutive season after debuting in 2022. Week 1's matchups will be available to watch across a variety of tv channels and streaming services including Fox, Fox Sports 1, NBC, and Peacock.

The Gamblers are led by new head coach Curtis Johnson, who took over the leading duties from previous coach Kevin Sumlin. Johnson is an experienced NFL offensive assistant coach who also spent four seasons as the head coach at Tulane.

As Houston looks to rebound from a 3-7 campaign in 2022, they'll be relying heavily on speed in the form of starting quarterback Kenji Bahar, who won the starting job over fellow signal-callers Terry Wilson and Montell Cozart. Bahar completed 61% of his passes for 541 yards, with two touchdown passes and two interceptions in seven games played last season while also adding 87 yards on the ground.

The Gamblers will also welcome back tailback Mark Thompson, who led the Gamblers last season with 463 rushing yards and two scores.
