2024 United Football League season
The United Football League is about to start its first season, after a merger between the XFL and United States Football League created it. Fox Sports and RedBird Capital own the league jointly, while Russ Brandon comes in from the XFL to serve as president.
Four teams from each league were chosen to join the UFL, with the old leagues serving as conferences. As has become customary for spring leagues, the regular season will last for 10 weeks with no byes. The top two teams in each conference will play each other in semifinals, with the championship game to follow.
The schedule was released on Feb. 5. Game times for one of the semifinals and for the title game are still to be determined.
