For players not protected or selected in this first phase, there’s still a chance to be picked. A second dispersal draft will be held on Jan. 15, opening the door for all UFL teams to choose from these players. This two-phase draft process ensures that all players have an equitable chance to be part of a team for the new season.
The UFL is also gearing up for its training camp, beginning on Feb. 24 in Arlington, Texas. The camp will start with 75 players per team, eventually narrowing down to a final roster of 50 players for the season. In line with the league’s strategic gameplay, the ‘third quarterback rule‘ will be in effect, where teams can designate an inactive quarterback for games, adding a layer of tactical decision-making.
Game days will see each team fielding 42 active players, a roster size designed to optimize performance and maintain a high-quality standard of play.
With the official confirmation from the UFL, teams, players, and fans can now look forward with excitement to the 2024 season. The player dispersal process and training camp are just the beginning of what promises to be another thrilling chapter in the UFL’s history.
