UFL schedule 2024: Dates, times, TV channels, tickets, teams for spring football league games

Spring football leagues have come and gone over the years, but the latest incarnation has some heavy-duty backing that could keep it around for a while. 

The United Football League, or UFL, which sprang from a merger of the XFL and USFL, begins play in 2024 with eight franchises — four each from the rival leagues that played roughly parallel schedules last year. 

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been the public face of the new league after heading up the XFL before the merger, and former USFL exec and NFL star Daryl Johnston is leading football operations for the UFL. The league will try to strike the balance between serving as an entertaining standalone product and developing players for a possible shot at the NFL. 

While the bulk of the players may be composed of those who are fairly anonymous to the casual fan, they'll get plenty of exposure over the course of the 10-game regular-season schedule. The UFL has television deals with ESPN and Fox and will have numerous games in high-profile weekend slots on network TV.
