The Universal Football League Xtreme (UFLX) Returns for 2026 After Five-Year Hiatus

Florida – July 2025 — After a five-year absence, the Universal Football League is officially back—rebranded, recharged, and ready for action as the Universal Football League Xtreme (UFLX). Set to make its return in Spring 2026, the UFLX is poised to bring a new level of intensity to adult amateur football across Florida and beyond.

Originally founded in 2016, the league established itself as one of the most competitive platforms for adult athletes before taking a pause after the 2021 season. Now under new leadership and vision, the UFLX is back with fresh ideas, expanded exposure opportunities, and a firm commitment to helping players reach the next level.

A New Era Begins

Led by League Commissioner Mack, the UFLX is focused on elevating the semi-pro football experience through structure, media exposure, and professional-level presentation. The league is currently accepting team registrations for the 2026 season, inviting competitive, organized clubs from across Florida to join the action.

With a 10-game regular season, playoff format, and showcase events on the horizon, UFLX promises to deliver high-quality football for players, coaches, and fans alike.

Broadcast Partnership with Varsity Sports Nation

One of the most significant developments for the returning league is its new broadcast partnership with Varsity Sports Nation (VSN). With over 1,000,000 subscribers and distribution across Apple TV, Roku, Samsung TV, Facebook Live, YouTube, and more, every UFLX game will be livestreamed and available on-demand—giving players the exposure they deserve and fans a front-row seat from anywhere in the world.

This partnership marks a major step forward in legitimizing the league and attracting sponsors and supporters across the state.

What to Expect in 2026

• Full 10-game regular season

• Playoffs and championship structure

• Live-streamed games via VSN

• Opportunities for player exposure and advancement

• Team and community engagement across Florida

Several teams have already committed to the league’s return, including new and returning franchises ready to compete at a high level. With top-tier uniforms, professional branding, and enhanced media coverage, the UFLX is setting a new standard for adult amateur football.

Back and Better Than Ever

The UFLX isn’t just picking up where it left off—it’s evolving into something bigger, better, and bolder. With a mission rooted in competition, opportunity, and community, the league is ready to give players a true platform to shine while entertaining fans throughout the state.
