UFL 2026: DC Defenders Schedule, Dates, Times, TV Channels, How to watch live streaming, venues.

The 2026 UFL regular-season schedule has officially dropped!

The DC Defenders are one of the flagship franchises of the United Football League (UFL) and easily one of its loudest personalities. Based in Washington, D.C., the Defenders play their home games at Audi Field, where spring football has found something rare: a genuinely rowdy fan base that treats every game like a civic event.

What really separates DC, though, is the atmosphere. Audi Field has become one of the best home-field advantages in spring football. Fans show up early, stay loud, and embrace the chaos. The now-famous beer-snake tradition is more than a meme—it’s a signal that the Defenders have successfully fused sports, spectacle, and local pride into something that feels authentic rather than manufactured.

Here is the 2026 UFL schedule organized team by team, with dates, times, TV channels, and locations:
