UFL unveils sweeping rule changes ahead of new season, including 4-point field goals

The United Football League games will look noticeably different once the 2026 season kicks off. 

The spring football league announced several rule revisions for its upcoming season, including a new twist on field goals. Any team that makes a field goal of at least 60 yards will receive four points instead of the traditional three.

"We want to create an exciting game. We want good flow. We want big plays. We want to promote scoring," UFL head of officiating Dean Blandino told USA Today Sports.
