Certain game sites were not finalized, however, and changes were made both before the schedule's release and after play had begun: During the week of August 10, the four team names and their uniform jerseys were revealed.

Each of the uniforms (and the team logos and helmets that were unveiled on October 2)[4] incorporated the UFL's signature color scheme into their designs, including silver (primary color for the Las Vegas Locomotives), blue (Florida Tuskers), black (New York Sentinels), and lime green and white (California Redwoods).

The top team during the regular season was the Florida Tuskers; with a roster of players including quarterback Brooks Bollinger and receiver Taye Biddle, the Tuskers finished the season with a perfect 6–0 record, officially securing a berth in the UFL Championship Game with an October 30 win over Las Vegas.

[11] Other factors—including the lack of a season ticket package, large-scale college football in Florida, the death of UConn football player Jasper Howard and Tim Lincecum's Cy Young Award press conference just prior to a Redwoods home game—hampered attendance severely.

The final score of the game was set up by a Locos takeaway deep in Tusker territory on Florida's first overtime possession.
