A lot of these aren’t much of a surprise to most spring football fans. What we’re seeing with the UFL ruleset is a nice balance between what we’ve seen with the USFL and XFL over the past two seasons.
There have been hints on what fans could expect out of the rules from various interviews in the lead-up to this announcement.
For instance, last week Graham Gwaltney (@UFLUpdate) reported that the UFL would be utilizing the two foot rule. This is in contrast to the XFL rule which allowed only foot inbounds for a complete pass.
We’re seeing the league adopt the USFL kickoff, whereas we’ll see the XFL version of the PAT.
Around The UFL went in-depth on all the UFL rule changes slated for the 2024 season. This could give you some better insight as to what to expect on the field this season.
