The UFL Schedule for the 2026 season has been released by the league and includes the dates, kickoff times, and TV for all eight teams.
For the 2026 season, the UFL has replaced three teams. New teams include the Columbus Aviators, Louisville Kings, and Orlando Storm. Those three teams replace the Memphis Showboats, Michigan Panthers, and San Antonio Brahmas. Returning teams include the Birmingham Stallions, Dallas Renegades (renamed from Arlington), DC Defenders, Houston Gamblers (renamed from the Roughnecks), and St. Louis Battlehawks.
Each UFL team plays a ten-game regular-season schedule, which consists of five home games and five away games. Previous seasons were division-based, but that has been eliminated for the 2026 season.
The 2026 season, which will be the third for the United Football League, is scheduled to kickoff on Friday, March 27 with the Louisville Kings hosting the Birmingham Stallions.
Overall, the UFL schedule will consist of ten weeks with four games each week. The regular-season will conclude on Sunday, May 31.
The UFL Playoff Schedule begins on Sunday, June 7 with both conference championship games. The first game will kickoff at 3:00pm ET on ABC, followed by the second game at 6:00pm ET on FOX.
Winners of the two playoff games will advance to the 2026 UFL Championship Game, which will be played on Saturday, June 13 at a site to be announced. The game will be televised by ABC at 3:00pm ET.
