UFL Kickoff Weekend 2024 live stream: Watch the United Football League

By

Spring football returns with the 2024 United Football League (UFL). The UFL is the byproduct of the merger between the XFL and USFL at the end of 2023. Once rivals, the XFL and USFL are now the UFL under the leadership of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Dani Garcia, RedBird Capital Partners, and the Fox Corporation.

The UFL consists of eight teams – four from the XFL and four from the USFL. The UFL teams competing to win a championship are the Arlington Renegades, Birmingham Stallions, DC Defenders, Houston Roughnecks, Memphis Showboats, Michigan Panthers, San Antonio Brahmas, and St. Louis Battlehawks. The 2024 UFL inaugural season begins with a special doubleheader as part of UFL Kickoff Weekend.

If you plan to travel on Saturday or watch the games from a foreign location, know that streaming services work differently in these situations. To alleviate potential issues that may arise, download a VPN service. With a VPN, Internet users will have more protection from phishing attacks and malware viruses. A VPN will also work to bypass regional broadcast restrictions, allowing for a better streaming experience. Our suggestion is to download NordVPN. Just know that NordVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, meaning there isn’t a penalty for trying the service.
