UFL Schedule 2026: Game Times, dates, TV channels for full regular season, Results & playoffs of United Football League
The 2026 United Football League (UFL) regular-season schedule has officially dropped!
The 2026 UFL season will kick off on March 27, when the Louisville Kings will host their inaugural game against the two-time UFL champion Birmingham Stallions.. The kickoff game will be the first of many games held on a Friday this year, as the league adds Friday night football to its 2026 campaign. All games in the new time slot will be broadcast on FOX, ABC and ESPN.
The UFL is in its third year of existence since forming ahead of the 2024 season following the USFL and XFL merger. The spring football league is still comprised of eight teams, though three have been relocated for the 2026 campaign while others have been rebranded.
Per usual, the UFL will feature a 10-week regular season, and every club will play 10 regular-season games with no bye weeks. This year, however, the UFL will not be divided into two conferences. Instead, the eight teams will compete as one division and the four teams with the best records will advance to the playoffs.
Overall, the UFL schedule will consist of ten weeks with four games each week. The regular-season will conclude on Sunday, June 1.
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.
