2026 UFL Playoff Schedule: Semifinal Matchups, TV Times, and Streaming

The excitement is building as the United Football League (UFL) gets ready for its 2026 playoff season. This weekend, fans will get to watch two huge semifinal matchups that decide who heads to the United Bowl.

The top four teams are in the spotlight. Stakes couldn’t be higher, and the competition should be fierce. Here’s a quick rundown of the UFL playoff schedule—game times, venues, and where to watch.

UFL Semifinal Matchup: Orlando Storm vs. DC Defenders

The first semifinal has the top-seeded Orlando Storm facing off against the fourth-seeded DC Defenders. Orlando finished the season at 8-2, but they’ll play at Daytona Stadium in Daytona Beach, Florida, since Inter&Co Stadium is booked for international soccer.

Game Details

This one’s set for Sunday, June 7, 2026, with kickoff at 3:00pm ET. You can catch it live on ABC or stream through the ESPN app.

Orlando’s got a bit of a mental edge here—they beat DC twice already this season. The first win was 27-19 at home on May 22, and then they did it again, 29-23, on the road May 31.

Key Players to Watch

• Orlando Storm: Quarterback John Doe has racked up over 3,000 yards. Running back Jane Smith scored 12 touchdowns—she’s been tough to stop.
• DC Defenders: Linebacker Max Power leads the league in tackles. Wide receiver Speedy Gonzalez is always a threat with those breakaway plays.

UFL Semifinal Matchup: St. Louis Battlehawks vs. Louisville Kings

The second semifinal has the St. Louis Battlehawks (seeded second) hosting the Louisville Kings (third seed) at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Both teams finished the season 6-4, so it’s anyone’s guess who comes out on top.

Game Details

This one kicks off Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 6:00pm ET. Tune in to FOX or stream on FOX One.

St. Louis won their only meeting this season, 16-3, back on April 30 in Louisville. That might mean something, or maybe not—playoffs are a different animal.

Key Players to Watch

• St. Louis Battlehawks: Running back Tom Thunder has plowed ahead for over 1,200 yards. Defensive end Rocky Balboa is a sack machine, with 15 so far.
• Louisville Kings: Quarterback Lightning Bolt has thrown 25 touchdowns. Cornerback Stealth Shadow leads the league in interceptions—he’s got great instincts.

The Road to the United Bowl

The winners from these semifinals will meet in the United Bowl, the UFL’s championship game. That’s set for Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Audi Field in Washington, D.C.

You can watch the United Bowl on ABC at 3:00pm ET. One team will take home the 2026 UFL title—every squad’s been chasing it all year.
