Columbus, Louisville and Orlando were new teams, the Arlington Renegades became the Dallas Renegades, the Houston Roughnecks became the Houston Gamblers, and Memphis, Michigan and San Antonio did not return. Michigan had played in the 2025 title game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using the DraftKings line ESPN lists for each game (36 of the 43 games, regular season and playoffs, had one; the first seven did not):<\/p>\n\n\n\n The totals were close to right on average. The 36 posted totals averaged 45.6 points and the 43 games averaged 45.5, and the overs and unders split 19 to 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sides were not. Favorites lost as often as they won, and the biggest favorite of the season, DC at -10.5 at home on May 9, lost 30-13 to Louisville, the team that went on to win the title. One season of 36 lined games is a small sample, so read it as a record of 2026 only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The menu is shorter than for the NFL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a futures price, convert it to a chance first. A +300 price implies 25% and a +700 price implies 12.5%, and with eight teams an even share is 12.5% each. A futures bet is worth making only when you rate the team’s chance higher than the price does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The top four teams in the standings make the playoffs, seeded by record, with first playing fourth and second playing third in the semifinals, and the winners meet in the United Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2026 bracket:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both semifinal favorites lost. The top seed also had to play its home semifinal away from its own stadium: Orlando moved the game to Daytona because of a schedule conflict at its home ground, so check where a UFL playoff game is actually being played before you give a team home field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The league has crowned three champions since it began play in 2024:<\/p>\n\n\n\n DC reached two of the three and scored 58 in one of them. Louisville won the 2026 title in its first season in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 10-game season leaves little data, and three of the eight 2026 teams were new. The things that settle a UFL price are the ones you can check in the week of the game:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the terms used above, see our betting terminology guide<\/a>.
