2022 USFL season
USFL Week 10 officiating assignments
The officiating assignments for final week of the 2022 USFL regular season.
The USFL has done something that no major spring league has done since the 2001 XFL — finish the regular season schedule.
This is the final week that games will be played in Birmingham, Ala. All games this weekend are at Legion Field, the home stadium for the Week 8 games. Due to the World Games being hosted by Birmingham in July, the postseason moved to the Tom Benson Stadium in Canton, Ohio, on the campus of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
There were some travel logistics issues which caused a scramble on Friday to reassign the officials for this final weekend. Referee Bryan Banks will head James Carter’s crew, with Carter joining the crew at umpire for one game. Duane Heydt has his full crew for the other two games.
