United Football League

The United Football League (UFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL). The UFL is one of the five major professional sports leagues in the United States. The UFL's 17-week regular season runs from early September to late December, with each team playing 16 games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the United Bowl, which is usually held on the first Friday in February and is played between the champions of the NFL and AFL.
