Week 8 of the UFL season kicks off Friday with a four-game slate spread across the weekend: one matchup Friday night, a Saturday doubleheader and a Sunday finale. FOX Sports Joel Klatt and Curt Menefee return to the booth for another edition of UFL Friday, the leagues weekly primetime showcase airing every Friday on FOX throughout the 10-week regular season. All 40 regular-season games plus the playoffs on June 7 and the championship game on June 13 will be televised across FOX, FS1, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and NFL Network. Games will also be available to stream on FOXSports.com, the FOX Sports app and FOX One. Here are the full regular-season schedules for every team. Here's everything to know about Week 8: Week 8 (May 1517) Orlando Storm (5-2) at Dallas Renegades (3-4) Key players: Storm QB Jack Plummer, WR Elijhah Badger; Renegades QB Austin Reed, WR Tyler Vaughns What to know: Orlando quarterback Jack Plummer will look to build off his two-touchdown performance last weekend in a narrow win over the Houston Gamblers. That victory helped improve the Storms' record to 5-2, good for a three-way tie atop the league standings. Orlando will now head to Dallas to battle the Renegades, a team looking to bounce back after a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Birmingham Stallions. The Renegades let another one slip away last week. Quarterback Austin Reed and the offense unraveled in overtime for their fourth straight loss. Now, the Renegades face an even steeper challenge against an Orlando team that is tied atop the league standings. DC Defenders (5-2) at Louisville Kings (3-4) Key players: Defenders QB Jordan Ta'amu, RB Deon Jackson; Kings QB Chandler Rogers, WR Isaiah Winstead What to know: The Defenders suffered their first loss since Week 1 in a 30-13 defeat to the Louisville Kings last weekend. Quarterback Jordan Taamu still powered the offense through the air, throwing for 353 yards on 18-of-33 passing, but a sluggish run game and two costly interceptions kept DC from finding its rhythm. Now, the Defenders get an immediate shot at redemption, where their high-tempo offense will look to get back on track. The Kings bounced back last week, rolling past the Defenders behind another efficient performance from quarterback Chandler Rogers. Rogers completed 17 of 26 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns, while Louisville piled up 345 total yards and held one of the UFLs top offenses to its second-lowest point total of the season. Now, the Kings will try to keep that momentum going in a Week 8 rematch, with Taamu and the Defenders coming in motivated for revenge. Houston Gamblers (2-5) at St. Louis Battlehawks (5-2) Key players: Gamblers QB Hunter Dekkers, WR Lawrence Keys III; Battlehawks QB Luis Perez, RB Jarveon Howard What to know: The Gamblers are also coming off a heartbreaking loss, falling 24-23 to the Storm after a missed potential game-winning field goal in the final moments. Quarterback Hunter Dekkers threw for 268 yards and an interception as Houston battled back after a slow start and trimmed a double-digit deficit to four. A 49-yard pass from backup quarterback John Rhys Plumlee to wide receiver Jalen White set the Gamblers up for a late go-ahead score, but a missed 29-yard kick sealed Houstons defeat. St. Louis is coming off a dominant 31-20 win over the Aviators behind a strong performance from quarterback Luis Perez. The Battlehawks jumped out to a 24-7 lead and controlled the game from start to finish, holding off a second-half push from Columbus. St. Louis leaned on a balanced offensive attack, totaling 198 passing yards and 108 rushing yards while scoring three touchdowns on the ground. Columbus Aviators (2-5) at Birmingham Stallions (3-4) Key players: Aviators QB Jalan McClendon, WR Tay Martin; Stallions QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, WR Justyn Ross What to know: Columbus fell to the Battlehawks 31-20 last week, dropping to 2-5 on the season. The Aviators now head south looking to bounce back, but theyll face a Stallions team coming off a dramatic overtime comeback victory. Despite the loss, Columbus showed flashes offensively, as quarterback Jalan McClendon threw for two touchdowns while completing 20 of 28 passes for 152 yards. Still, missed opportunities in the red zone ultimately proved costly. Birmingham rallied past the Renegades at home last week, winning in overtime after quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson connected with Jaydon Mickens on the game-winning two-point conversion. The Stallions finished with 296 total yards and used a late fourth-quarter surge along with a missed Dallas field goal to complete the comeback. Still, if Birmingham wants to stay in the playoff race, its passing attack will need to be far more efficient moving forward.

The two-time defending NJSIAA state champion Winslow Eagles' football program has a new leader. The Winslow board approved Jamal White as its next coach at its monthly meeting this week. White is known as an offensive guru, having served as an offensive coordinator at Timber Creek and, most recently, at Woodbury. "Oh man, this it's amazing," White said. "This is definitely something I have been looking forward to for a long time now. For it to come up now and be in this position, especially at this place, is truly amazing. It is truly exciting. I mean, it is a lot, but it is great right now."White is a Triton High School graduate who went on to have a Towson University Hall-of-Fame career as a wide receiver. As an offensive coordinator, White contributed to three sectional titles at Timber Creek and three more, plus a true state title, in the same role at Woodbury. White is a middle school special education teacher in Williamstown. "I've been blessed to coach under some really good coaches like Rob Hinson and Anthony Reagan," White said. "Continuing in the craft that those guys excelled at, learning the establishment of the same discipline and the culture and the love that they've shown for their players. Getting them into college and really showing them just true mentorship and true manly love. I'm excited about being able to now take some of the things they've taught me and implementing some of their ways and some of my own ways as well."The two-time Group 4 state champion Eagles finished 12-2 last season after an undefeated run in 2024. Former coach Bill Belton has since stepped down and accepted the same position at St., Augustine. "I look forward to having an opportunity to address all the members of the team," White said. "A lot of guys are doing other sports, which I completely encourage, and hope they continue to do. I got a chance to address a good nucleus of the team. We are still in the process of setting up one evening where I can meet with all the parents and address the guys that are thinking about coming out and be a part of this program that we want to continue to take to the next level."In White's first head coaching position, he will be charged with maintaining a culture that builds winning football teams and productive members of the community."The biggest thing I'm looking forward to producing young men," White said. "Getting them into college, and having them become valuable people in the community, not just football players. I look forward to developing like boys to become young men, and develop a good foundation with that."Tom Rimback grew up reading the Burlington County Times and Courier Post sports sections and began writing for the BCT in 1996.
