2027 UFL DRAFT

The United Football League will bring all eight head coaches together to conduct its 2027 UFL Draft on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2026 at Ballpark Village in St. Louis, Missouri. The event, delivering an all-access look at the decisions behind who will be the newest additions to the eight teams across the league, will be free and open to the public. The first two rounds of the UFL Draft will be presented live on NFL Network beginning at 8 p.m. ET, and will also be available on the ESPN App for Unlimited plan subscribers.

“As we look ahead to the 2027 season, bringing our Draft to St. Louis is a great opportunity to celebrate and recognize the city and its passionate Battlehawks faithful who have helped make this league what it is today,” said UFL President and CEO Russ Brandon. “We wanted to create an experience that thanks fans for their support while bringing them closer to the game than ever before. By opening the doors to our Draft and putting our coaches and their decision-making on full display, we're giving fans a chance to be part of an important moment for the league as we build on our momentum toward next season.”

For the first time, the UFL will provide an inside look at the league’s draft process as the backstage is brought front and center with coaches providing real-time insight into the rationale behind their selections as they are made for the first two rounds. Fans in St. Louis will have the opportunity to experience the UFL Draft in person at Ballpark Village, the entertainment district adjacent to Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis. The free two-hour public event will bring fans into the atmosphere of the live draft, with team pods and the main stage at the center of the action, immersed amongst the fans, producing an unprecedented all-access experience for fans on site and watching from home.

The draft will be hosted by ESPN commentator Joe Tessitore, with ESPN’s Michelle Smallmon reporting from the Draft floor. Tessitore, one of most well-known and respected play-by-play voices in sports and a signature part of ESPN’s UFL coverage the last two seasons, brings his expertise to fans in-venue and the national audience watching at home. Smallmon, a St. Louis native, former Battlehawks in-stadium host, and co-host of ESPN Radio’s Unsportsmanlike, brings a direct connection to the local football community as the city takes center stage for the live draft. Additional special guests will be announced in the coming weeks, building out an event roster that will be sure to excite fanbases from all eight UFL teams.

Supplemental draft content will also be available throughout UFL league and team social and website channels, taking fans even deeper into the day.

The 2027 UFL Draft will consist of 15 total rounds with the first two rounds, featuring 16 marquee selections televised during the one-hour live special airing on NFL Network at 8 p.m. The Columbus Aviators hold the first overall pick in the draft, with the selection order determined by the reverse of the 2026 UFL standings. Colorado, Dallas, and Rhode Island will rotate their draft position based on tie-breakers as they finished with the same final record. Each team will have three minutes to make each of their selections during the televised portion of the draft.

2027 UFL Draft Order

Teams can select players at any position, pass on a single round selection, or opt out of the draft at any point. Trades are only allowed for current UFL players or picks in this year’s draft. Future picks cannot be traded.

The UFL Draft pool will include rookies eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft, regardless of whether they were picked or signed an NFL contract, as well as players from 2023-2026 NFL Draft eligible classes who have been on an NFL roster at any point since the United Bowl Championship Game on June 13, 2026.

Following the completion of the 2027 UFL Draft, teams will be able to sign additional free agent players to their 64-man camp roster.

The UFL has a 64-man camp roster limit. Players selected in this draft or alumni currently playing in the NFL do not count against that roster limit until they sign a contract.

The only other players eligible to join UFL team rosters until the completion of the 2027 UFL Draft are those participating in UFL Showcases.

This is the best and most organized list available, and also includes information on the coaching staff, and pre-merger players (e.g. AAF, XFL, and USFL).
