Football Advancement through Sports Technology
The UFL is launching a technology accelerator program to advance the game of professional football.
TruVision by Mindfly
FAST and Mindfly have worked together to engineer Mindfly’s first-ever player body camera for professional football. During the 2024 UFL season, the Mindfly body camera was tested on UFL officials during the playoff game between the Birmingham Stallions and the Michigan Panthers. During the 2025 season, the UFL will use up to four lightweight Mindfly player body armor vests in two games each weekend throughout the full season. Each vest will include a body camera giving fans a player’s view of the game action.

The UFL will partner with SkillCorner in 2025 to provide comprehensive contextual tracking data for all UFL games. Utilizing all-22 camera feeds, SkillCorner will employ computer vision technology to provide player tracking and aggregated data at scale for all players on all plays in all games, including speed, distance, and separation while also providing deeper analytical data points from each UFL game.
Improbable Completions
The probability that a pass will be completed, determined by factors such as the separation between the intended receiver and the nearest defender, the distance the ball is thrown and the level of pressure on the quarterback.
Unbelievable Interceptions
Not all INTs are created equal. These defenders picked off passes that had the highest chance of being completed, turning elite instincts into game-changing plays.
Sportable Ball Tracking
The UFL will utilize Sportable’s wireless, portable local positioning system (LPS) in Choctaw Stadium to deliver premium, low-latency data from UFL smart footballs equipped with Sportable’s proprietary sensor technology (“Smart Balls”). In 2025, the UFL will integrate Smart Balls into its team practices and UFL Showcases to assist its football operations staff through the use of novel quarterback and position specific technical and tactical performance evaluation tools during next generation combine drills. In addition, Sportable and the UFL will collaborate in further research into how Smart Ball data might further enhance officiating in key aspects of the game.
