UNITED FOOTBALL LEAGUE
LEAGUE WEBSITE
The United Football League (UFL) is a professional American football high-level minor league which started play in March 2024. It was created following the merger of the latest incarnations of the XFL and United States Football League (USFL). It consists of eight teams, all of which were members of the XFL or USFL prior to the UFL's creation, concentrated in the Midwest and Southern United States.
Each team plays a ten-game schedule with no bye weeks, playing two games against each conference rival (one home and one away) and one game against each team in the other conference.
