The 2026 UFL season kicks off March 27. If you want to do more than just watch, UFL News Hub now has you covered.
The fan-built site at uflnewshub.com has added a full fantasy football platform through News Hub Fantasy, giving UFL fans a place to play season-long fantasy football, weekly pick'em games and daily fantasy lineups — all free to play.
Three Ways to Play
Fantasy Football Leagues — Create or join a league, draft a roster of UFL players and set your lineup each week. The platform works the same way NFL fantasy football does. Player stats from real games get converted into fantasy points. You manage your roster through the season with drops, adds and trades.
Weekly Pick'em — Pick game winners each week, with options to play against the spread. The pick'em format tracks your record on a leaderboard so you can compete against other UFL fans across the season.
DFS Lineup Builder — Build daily fantasy lineups for individual UFL game slates. This gives fans a way to compete on a single-week basis without the commitment of a full-season league.
Why This Matters for UFL Fans
Fantasy football has been one of the biggest drivers of fan engagement in the NFL for decades. It gives viewers a reason to watch games outside their favorite team. It makes stat lines matter. It turns casual viewers into fans who check scores all day.
The UFL has not had a centralized fantasy platform built around its league until now. DraftKings has run UFL DFS contests, and sites like RotoBaller and Fantasy Points have published UFL rankings and lineup advice. But News Hub Fantasy puts leagues, pick'em and DFS in one spot, built by fans who cover the league every day.
The platform also supports CFL fantasy football and hybrid CFL/UFL leagues, which could appeal to fans who follow both spring and summer football.
What Else Is on UFL News Hub
Beyond fantasy, UFL News Hub operates as a full coverage site for the league. The site includes standings, schedules, stats, a transaction tracker, team pages for all eight UFL franchises, a fan forum, live chat, a daily podcast and a mobile app available on iOS and Android.
The site also runs original reporting. Writers like Greg Parks, Anthony Miller and our staff of eight writers cover roster moves, media day interviews, coaching decisions and league news.
UFL News Hub also offers a Pro tier that includes AI-powered tools and an ad-free experience.
