The second year of the UFL showed a decline compared to the first, with in-person attendance dropping by five percent and a significant 20 percent decrease in TV viewership. While Michigan experienced a notable 30.4 percent increase in attendance, Memphis saw a sharp decline of 42.1 percent, and St. Louis’s attendance fell by 14 percent despite averaging 29,537 fans per game. The UFL, facing these challenges and the impact of a scheduling shift to Friday nights on TV ratings, remains committed to its future, making the upcoming year crucial for its long-term viability.
