Offseason[edit]

Stadium Plans[edit]

Shortly before the completion of the 2022 season, the USFL announced plans to move into two or four hubs for teams to play in.[1] In November, the USFL was reportedly exploring options of having a hub in Metro Detroit, with possible locations being the Eastern Michigan Eagles' Rynearson Stadium and the Detroit Lions' Ford Field.[2]

Draft[edit]

The Gamblers clinched the third overall pick in the 2023 USFL Draft and hold the third pick in each round.
