The United Football League heads into its second season since being created by a merger between the USFL and XFL.
Things are not going well.
The 24 quarterbacks of the League are no longer showing up to work. Sports Business Journal reported that the signal callers decided not to attend a QBs-only training camp this weekend as they seek better salaries and benefits.
The UFL is a month away from its second season, which is a huge deal since so many startup leagues quickly folded trying to do what they are doing right now.
The biggest moment of the second iterations of the XFL and USFL last year was 1.6 million viewers tuning in to watch the championship game between the Birmingham Stallions and San Antonio Brahmas on Fox.
Now, the United Football League’s gains can be wiped out over labor issues.
The UFL and the league’s players association are currently embroiled in a contract dispute that started in December after the league’s most recent proposal only called for pay bumps from last year’s base salary of $55,000.
What is Dwayne’ The Rock’ Johnson Going To Do With The United Football League Season Around The Corner?
With the 2025 UFL season right around the corner, the league is having major issues with all of its quarterbacks.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who is a part owner of the UFL, stated last year that the league will begin its second season on March 28, 2025.
As of right now, it’s looking like it might be pushed back.
That’s not a ton of time to prepare for the season, and this week came with all 24 quarterbacks in the UFL holding out of a scheduled QB minicamp amid tense contract negotiations with the league.
The players recently formed a union and are now fighting for an increase in pay from the $55,000 salary for 2024 and additional health care coverage.
“The United Football League continues to negotiate in good faith with the players union to finalize a Collective Bargaining Agreement, which will be beneficial to both the players and the league,” the UFL said in a statement Friday.
It remains to be seen what Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson does in the next month.
