The UFL has not published its 2027 schedule (its schedule page, read November 3, lists seasons only to 2026), so no Week 5 game is set and this page quotes no line for UFL Week 5 odds. The season opens Friday, March 26, 2027, at 8 p.m. ET on FOX, with the champion Louisville Kings at home at Lynn Family Stadium.
Last season’s Week 5 is the record here. Three of four favorites lost, and Louisville scored 47 at Dallas as a 7.5-point underdog.
UFL Week 5 odds and results from 2026
Week 5 of 2026 ran from Friday, April 24, to Sunday, April 26, with the DraftKings spread and total as carried in ESPN’s game data, times ET.
| Date (ET) | Game | Line | Total | Final | TV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fri., April 24, 8 p.m. | DC Defenders at Birmingham Stallions | DC -6 | 44.5 | DC 45, Birmingham 28 | FOX |
| Sat., April 25, 7 p.m. | St. Louis Battlehawks at Orlando Storm | ORL -3 | 44.5 | St. Louis 25, Orlando 17 | ESPN |
| Sun., April 26, noon | Columbus Aviators at Houston Gamblers | CLB -2.5 | 44.5 | Houston 17, Columbus 13 | ABC |
| Sun., April 26, 3 p.m. | Louisville Kings at Dallas Renegades | DAL -7.5 | 46.5 | Louisville 47, Dallas 25 | ABC |
St. Louis won 25-17 at Orlando as a 3-point underdog, the Storm’s first loss after a 4-0 start. DC covered as a 6-point favorite at Birmingham; the other three favorites lost outright. The totals split evenly. DC and Birmingham put up 73 points against 44.5, and Louisville and Dallas 72 against 46.5, while the other two games stayed under, at 42 and 30. Four games is a record, not a rate: favorites going 1-3 against the spread in one week proves nothing about the next one.
Where Week 5 led
The standings after that weekend and at the end of the regular season sit side by side below.
| Team | Record after Week 5 | Final regular season |
|---|---|---|
| Orlando Storm | 4-1 | 8-2 |
| DC Defenders | 4-1 | 5-5 |
| St. Louis Battlehawks | 3-2 | 6-4 |
| Dallas Renegades | 3-2 | 4-6 |
| Louisville Kings | 2-3 | 6-4 |
| Houston Gamblers | 2-3 | 4-6 |
| Birmingham Stallions | 1-4 | 4-6 |
| Columbus Aviators | 1-4 | 3-7 |
Orlando and DC left Week 5 level at 4-1, and Orlando finished the regular season 8-2, the best record. Louisville left the week at 2-3 after losing its first three games of 2026, then won six of its last seven to finish 6-4, closing on four straight wins. Dallas went the other way: 3-0 to start, six straight losses from Week 4 to Week 9, and 4-6 at the end. In the semifinals on June 7, DC won 28-22 at Orlando’s Daytona Stadium and Louisville won 29-20 at St. Louis. Louisville then beat DC 27-20 in the United Bowl at Audi Field on June 13, 2026, and running back Ian Wheeler was named its MVP.

The 2026 Dallas Renegades roster moves to Colorado with Rick Neuheisel, and the 2026 Houston Gamblers roster moves to Dallas with Kevin Sumlin. Birmingham and Houston are not on the 2027 list.
The UFL has set three 2027 dates so far, each without an opponent.
| Date and time | Game | Stadium | TV |

The 2027 UFL Draft is Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at Ballpark Village in St. Louis, with the first two rounds live on NFL Network from 8 p.m. ET.
Betting the next UFL Week 5
Follow the rosters, not the names. Rhode Island has no UFL record of its own, but its roster went 4-6 as Birmingham in 2026. Colorado carries the Dallas roster, also 4-6, and Dallas now carries the 2026 Houston roster, 4-6 as well. A 2026 number filed under “Dallas” describes the players who are now in Colorado, so any read of last season’s form has to be moved team by team before it is compared with a 2027 price.
This page quotes no price and names no bet until the UFL publishes the 2027 schedule; as of its schedule page read November 3, no Week 5 game is known.
How the league is bet is covered in the UFL betting guide, and the title market in the UFL championship odds. Last season’s weeks are on the UFL Week 1 odds, UFL Week 4 odds and UFL Week 6 odds pages. For where to place a UFL bet, see the sportsbook reviews.
