Just about every high school football player’s dream is to one day make it playing on the professional level. For 4 high schools, they’ll get the opportunity to host a UFL showcase for athletes who are looking to do just that.

On Monday, the United Football League (UFL) announced the eight locations in which the league will host showcases for athletes to tryout and attempt to make it into the professional ranks. Four of the eight locations will be at high schools starting in mid-September running until early December.

Among the four high schools that will host the showcases are Georgia’s Kell High School, Florida’s Celebration High School, Arizona’s Tempe High School and the final tryout will be on Dec. 7 at Palos Verde Peninsula High School in California.

Kell will be the very first high school up to host a showcase, with the event taking place on September 14. Celebration would be next up on October 26 followed by Tempe’s on November 9.

The other four locations for the showcases will take place in Washington D.C. (September 28), Choctaw Stadium in Dallas (October 12) and Houston Christian’s Husky Stadium (November 23).

According to a UFL press release, all position players will be evaluated based on performance for potential free agent opportunities. Kickers and punters will have a separate showcase, which will take place in San Diego on October 19.

The 2026 season would be the third year for the league as its coming off its second league championship game, with the DC Defenders defeating the Michigan Panthers, 58-34.
