No UFL Week 8 odds are posted yet: the 2026 season ended on June 13, when the Louisville Kings beat the DC Defenders 27-20 in the United Bowl, and the league’s schedule page still shows that season. This page keeps the last Week 8 as the record and will carry the next Week 8 slate and its lines once the league publishes them.
The one 2027 date the league has put out is a home opener. Its new Colorado team plays its first home game on Sunday, April 11, 2027, at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs, and a second new team is listed for Rhode Island.

Betting the next UFL Week 8
A spread or moneyline for a spring game is not worth quoting in September: rosters, quarterbacks and even the list of teams change over the winter. When the 2027 schedule and lines are out, this page will carry them. Until then, the UFL betting guide covers how the league is bet, and the UFL championship odds page covers the title market.
