What the showcase has produced

In 2026, 48 players who had previously taken part in a UFL Showcase earned invitations to UFL training camps. Of those, 39 appeared on active rosters.

Defensive lineman Travis Bell came through the 2025 Atlanta Showcase. He started all 10 regular-season games for the Louisville Kings, who won the 2026 United Bowl in their first season. Bell later earned an NFL opportunity with the Cleveland Browns.

This year's events have already produced camp invites. Wide receiver Cahsid Raymond earned a training camp invitation from the Dallas Renegades after the Washington, D.C., showcase in August. Defensive tackle John Sullivan earned an invitation from the St. Louis Battlehawks after the St. Louis showcase later that month.

The league also points to its NFL pipeline. In 2026, 118 former UFL players took part in NFL training camps, and 46 landed on NFL active rosters or practice squads.
