Birmingham Legion FC opened its 2026 USL Championship season with a record of 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses as of April 2026. The club plays its home matches at Protective Stadium and prepares for scheduled fixtures against Pittsburgh Riverhounds and Miami FC, both available on ESPN+ and SiriusXM FC.

Season Start and Match Schedule

The early record places the team in a position to seek points in the coming games at Protective Stadium. Coverage of the Pittsburgh Riverhounds and Miami FC contests will reach viewers through the listed broadcast partners, allowing local supporters to follow the action without attending every match in person.

Other Local Teams and Changes

The Birmingham Barons, the Chicago White Sox affiliate that plays at Regions Field, captured the 2024 Southern League title. Separately, A.J. McCarron replaced Skip Holtz as head coach of the Birmingham Stallions in the United Football League, introducing a new leadership direction for that franchise.

Context for Supporters

These developments across Birmingham’s professional teams create a varied local sports calendar. Legion FC’s schedule against Pittsburgh Riverhounds and Miami FC provides concrete opportunities to track progress from the April 2026 standing, while the Barons’ prior title and the Stallions’ coaching transition add further points of interest for residents who follow multiple clubs.

Supporters can monitor the USL Championship results through standard league channels and the noted broadcast options. The focus remains on the next matches for Legion FC and the adjustments already underway at the Stallions.
