ARLINGTON, Texas (Jan. 22, 2026) — The United Football League officially unveiled its complete 2026 game schedule on Thursday, marking a significant milestone as the league enters its third season with expanded visibility, new markets, and a fully integrated national broadcast strategy. For the first time, all 43 games of the regular season and postseason will be televised across FOX, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1 and ESPN+, with select matchups also airing in Spanish on FOX Deportes and ESPN Deportes.

The announcement underscores the league’s growing footprint in the spring football landscape, blending competitive innovation with premium media exposure. With new teams, new head coaches, and new venues entering the fold, the 2026 season is positioned as the UFL’s most ambitious and nationally accessible campaign to date.

The season will officially kick off on Friday, March 27, when FOX Sports launches FOX UFL Friday, a dedicated weekly primetime window that will showcase league action every Friday night throughout the 10-week regular season. Opening night is set for an 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff, giving the league a consistent national stage and a marquee start to the spring football calendar.

One day later, the spotlight shifts to North Texas, where the Dallas Renegades will open their 2026 campaign at Toyota Stadium on Saturday, March 28 at 3 p.m. CT. Dallas will reignite its in-state rivalry against the Houston Gamblers, a matchup expected to draw strong regional interest and set an energetic tone for the season.

The Renegades’ home opener will also mark the franchise’s first regular-season game at Toyota Stadium, their new home venue. Branded with the “MOUNT UP and go FULL THROTTLE” theme, the game will feature a stadium-wide blue out, designed to create a charged atmosphere and establish Toyota Stadium as one of the league’s premier game-day destinations.

Just over a week later, the UFL will break new ground on the national sports calendar. On Tuesday, April 7, the league will stage its first-ever Tuesday night game, as Dallas hosts the St. Louis Battlehawks at Toyota Stadium. The matchup will kick off at 8:00 p.m. ET and air nationally on FS1, placing spring football front and center shortly after the conclusion of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Dallas head coach Rick Neuheisel expressed optimism and enthusiasm following the schedule release, emphasizing both the competitive and entertainment value of the upcoming season.

“Looking at the 2026 schedule, it’s hard not to get excited,” Neuheisel said. “There’s a great mix of rivalries, prime-time moments, and big opportunities for our players to shine. Most importantly, our fans are in for a lot of fun — fast, physical football, electric atmospheres at Toyota Stadium, and a team that’s going to play with passion every single week.”

Beyond the action on the field, the UFL continues to lean into its vision of delivering a comprehensive sports and entertainment experience. League officials confirmed that all Renegades home games will feature giveaways, enhanced fan fests, live musical acts, and a variety of ticket incentives aimed at creating an accessible and family-friendly environment.

Ticket availability will follow closely behind the schedule announcement. Single-game tickets will go on sale Monday, Feb. 2 at 11:00 a.m. ET, while season ticket packages — starting at just $40 — will offer fans premium seating options, cost savings, and exclusive benefits. Additional information on season, group, and suite ticket packages is available through the league’s official ticket portal.

From a broadcast standpoint, the 2026 season represents a major leap forward for the UFL. Games will be carried across FOX, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, the ESPN App, FOX Deportes, and ESPN Deportes. FOX broadcasts will stream on FOX ONE, while games on ABC and ESPN platforms will be available through the ESPN App, ensuring fans can follow the league across traditional television and digital streaming platforms.

Following the 10-week regular season, the league’s four best teams will advance to the UFL Playoffs, scheduled for Sunday, June 7, with semifinal games airing on ABC and FOX. The season will culminate one week later, on Saturday, June 13, when ABC presents the 2026 UFL Championship Game — a nationally televised finale that will crown the league’s third champion.

As the UFL continues to refine its identity, expand its reach, and solidify its place in the professional football ecosystem, the 2026 schedule represents more than a list of dates. It signals a league pushing confidently into its next phase, offering fans more access, more innovation, and more high-stakes football than ever before. This is Renegades Football
