The UFL has ratified a new collective bargaining agreement with the United Football Players Association, establishing significant changes such as an annual raise for minimum salaries, improved health care access, and increased roster sizes. The deal, effective retroactively from the start of training camp, secures salary increments up to $64,000 by 2026 and adds provisions for player bonuses. Structural changes include the formation of a labor management committee, improved practices for player grievances, and the ability for players to wear preferred cleats, highlighting a collaborative effort to foster sustainable spring football.
"The new CBA includes an annual raise of $7,005 on minimum salaries and ensures year-round health care for all players, marking a significant improvement for athletes in the UFL."
"This is a reflection of the fact that the UFL and the UFPA ultimately wanted to come together to reach a sustainable deal that will ensure that spring football will thrive."
