Overview
- Field goals from 60 yards or longer now count for four points to incentivize aggressive decisions beyond midfield.
- Teams may not punt once they’ve crossed the opponent’s 50 until after the two-minute warning, even if a penalty moves them back.
- Post-touchdown options are a 33-yard kick for one, a two-point try from the 2, or a three-point attempt from the 8.
- The league adopted a one-foot-in-bounds catch standard and adjusted kickoff alignments to create more return space.
- Head of officiating Dean Blandino said the UFL is collaborating with the NFL on innovations, and investor Mike Repole drove the four-point field goal idea.
