The field is finally decided for the 2026 UFL playoffs — four teams are set to fight for a title, starting this weekend with the semifinals.

After an intense regular season, the Orlando Storm, St. Louis Battlehawks, Louisville Kings and DC Defenders have qualified for the postseason. These four franchises led the league standings after Week 10, with Orlando holding an 8-2 record, St. Louis and Louisville tied at 6-4, and DC with a 5-5 mark.

The Storm could make an unprecedented run if they continue to win, as the franchise is an expansion team in its debut season with the UFL. But on the other hand, the Defenders could go for back-to-back titles as the league’s reigning champions. 

There are many storylines to follow, and you’ll just have to tune in to see how it all unfolds.

Here’s everything you need to know about the UFL playoffs, including TV channel and streaming options for the 2026 semifinals.
