Kings, Battlehawks Meet for United Bowl Berth — Ufl Scores
ufl scores turns to St. Louis on June 5, 2026, where the Louisville Kings and St. Louis Battlehawks meet in the UFL postseason with a United Bowl berth at stake. Louisville enters as the No. 3 seed after a 6-4 inaugural season, and the winner moves one step from a title game.
Louisville’s 6-4 climb
Chris Redman guided Louisville to the playoffs in the franchise’s first season after an 0-3 start. The Kings flipped their season after trading starting quarterback Jason Bean and turning the offense over to Chandler Rogers, who led a major upset over the Dallas Renegades in Week Five.
That change carried through the finish. Louisville closed 6-1, won four straight entering the postseason, and averaged more than 35 points per game during that streak. The Kings also beat the defending champion DC Defenders twice in those four games, a run that pushed them into the playoff bracket with momentum and a clear identity.
St. Louis at The Dome
The Battlehawks also finished 6-4, but their path to this point looked different. St. Louis opened 5-2 before losing two of its final three games, and the quarterback job moved from Brandon Silvers to Harrison Frost and then to Luis Perez.
Perez, who arrived in a Week Four trade from Dallas, made his first start in Week Seven. He is a former UFL passing champion and Spring King, but the Battlehawks still reached the postseason needing to settle their offensive approach while Louisville arrived with a four-game winning streak and a defense that had forced a league-leading 17 takeaways.
Rushing and defense
Louisville’s case is built on more than the quarterback switch. The Kings finished fourth in the UFL with 102 rushing yards per game, then averaged 172 rushing yards per game during the current winning streak. Ian Wheeler finished fourth in the league with 370 rushing yards, James Robinson landed in the top ten with 300, and Cam Gill set the UFL single-season sack record with 10 sacks.
Corey Mayfield Jr. led the secondary with four interceptions, part of a defense that piled up 13 interceptions overall. St. Louis saw that version of Louisville up close already: the Kings’ only loss since Week Three came against the Battlehawks in their lone regular-season meeting, so this semifinal starts with a rematch and ends with one team advancing to the league’s title game.
