This Week's UFL Schedule
St. Louis Battlehawks at Dallas Renegades
| When | Tuesday, April 8, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET |
| Where | Toyota Stadium, Frisco, TX |
| TV | FS1 |
| Line | Dallas Renegades -4 | O/U 42 |
The Battlehawks hit the road for the first time this season after gutting out a 16-10 win over defending champion DC at The Dome. Dallas torched Houston 36-17 behind Austin Reed's UFL single-game passing record of 376 yards. Rick Neuheisel's quarterback gamble paid off big time in Week 1.
This matchup pits Reed's explosive offense against a Battlehawks defense that held the high-powered Defenders to just 10 points. St. Louis won with defense and field position, while Dallas lit up the scoreboard. Something's got to give under the lights in Frisco.
Players to Watch:
- Austin Reed (Renegades, QB) — Set the UFL passing record with 376 yards and earned Offensive Player of the Week honors
- Tyler Vaughns (Renegades, WR) — Reed's top target with 7 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown in the opener
- Jordan Mosley (Battlehawks, DB) — Named Defensive Player of the Week after shutting down DC's passing attack
Pick: Renegades 24-17. Reed's arm talent is too much for St. Louis to contain on the road.
