UFL Football Game Announced
UFL has been in development since 2016. The game will be available for free and we will regularly add new features and updates with no mandatory payments or yearly fees.
UFL is free-to-play
UFL Graphics
UFL is being developed in Unreal Engine. Developed by Epic Games, the engine is used in a number of high-profile game titles, including PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Valorant, and Yoshi’s Crafted World.
Gameplay
No gameplay footage of UFL has been showcased yet. The game "is designed to be a fair to play experience that implies a skill-first approach and zero pay-to-win options."
IN UFL, gamers "can compete with other gamers worldwide to prove their skills and climb to the very top of the league".
Logo
The UFL logo boasts the letters UFL in modern angular style in black on a Punch red background. The game's motto is "Fair to Play".
Release Date
UFL will launch "soon". We expect it to come out at the end of this year (FIFA 22 is dropping on 1 October).
Licenses
UFL does not feature big licenses like EA Sports' FIFA or also Konami's eFootball. Instead, in UFL, players will be able to create their own football clubs made up of more than 5000 licensed footballers.
“After years in development, we’re thrilled to see UFL enter the arena at a time when technological advances present new opportunities to create the most authentic digital representation of football ever known,” said Andrew Orsatti, FIFPRO’s Director of Marketing and Business Development.
Strikerz Inc. has secured the licenses of 65,000 professional footballers thanks to a deal with FIFPRO. FIFPRO is the world’s biggest representative organization for professional footballers. EA and Konami of course also have signed deals with FIFPRO.
UFL announced partnership deals with West Ham United and Hashtag United on the day of the big reveal. West Ham's Olympic Stadium will feature in the game.
Strikerz Inc. partnered up with InStat for player's data and stats. InStat is one of the leading sports performance analysis companies, who will provide detailed data and up-to-date statistics for each player.
Price
UFL will be free-to-play. There will be "zero pay-to-win options". We expect the game to offer extra packages like stadiums or kits for extra money.

Adidas Germany 2026 Farewell Kit Debuted on Pitch
Germany officially debuted their special edition Adidas farewell kit during their UEFA Nations League clash against the Netherlands. The release marks the final chapter of a legendary 72-year partnership between the German Football Association (DFB) and the Three Stripes, which began in 1954 and will officially come to an end on December 31, 2026, ahead of Nike taking over as technical supplier from 2027.
The tribute shirt features an elegant, predominantly black base decorated with vertical gold diamond pinstripes running down the front. Adidas has opted for the heritage Trefoil logo on the right chest alongside the classic DFB crest used between 1978 and 1996, both rendered in white. A retro-inspired crossover V-neck collar is trimmed in white and gold, mirrored on the sleeve cuffs, while a commemorative "1954" jock tag sits on the bottom hem to honor the historic year the partnership began.
Completed with black shorts and black socks featuring gold detailing, the on-pitch ensemble arrived just days after its official unveiling. Following its high-profile match debut, the Germany 2026 farewell jersey is scheduled to go on general sale via official Adidas channels starting September 26, 2026.

Finished in a Baltic Blue colorway with cloud-inspired graphics across the rear, the low-cut boot introduces Nike's Hydra treatment, which uses reactive white ink that vanishes when wet to uncover additional details of the graphic beneath. Engineered for lethal finishing in the 26-27 season, the boot combines a Gripknit upper with a Cyclone 360 soleplate and is scheduled to launch on October 1, 2026. Huge thanks to Pro Direct and Unisportsore for images and the video.
Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
Big thanks to @What The Kit for spotting and making the collage.
