The United Football League (UFL) is a professional American football league. Unlike the NFL, the UFL operates during the spring, offering fans the excitement of professional football throughout the year.
📜 History of UFL
The UFL was founded at the very end of 2023, following a merger between the USFL and the XFL. The new league includes 4 teams from each of these competitions for a total of 8 UFL teams.
Before the merger, the USFL and the XFL seasons partially overlapped, with each taking place in the spring during the NFL and college football offseason. As the leagues were competing for fans and viewer numbers, the organisers decided to combine them into a single entity.
