The Ultimate Frisbee Association is proud to announce the 2026 “Friday Night Frisbee” schedule! For the second straight season, the UFA will be producing a weekly showcase broadcast available live and FREE on YouTube. The 14-game slate begins on opening night for the 2026 season with the Carolina Flyers set to take on the San Diego Growlers. Last year, the Growlers took the third and final playoff spot in the South Division, and ended Carolina’s historic playoff streak, setting up a much anticipated meeting on Friday, April 24. 

“Friday Night Frisbee is a great way to kick off the UFA schedule every weekend,” said UFA Commissioner Tim DeByl. “Last year, we saw big viewership numbers on Friday night, and that momentum carried into the rest of our weekend schedule of games—FNF was a success. We are always looking to make our top games more accessible to the fans, which is why we are bringing back FNF on even more platforms for the 2026 season.”

There are three notable exceptions to the Friday night schedule. In Week 3, the league’s fiercest rivalry will take center stage on Sunday, May 10 as the DC Breeze and New York Empire do battle for the first time in 2026. In Week 5, the two franchises that have won four of the past five South Division titles, Atlanta and Carolina, will play a pivotal match in their four-game season series on Saturday, May 10. And in an extra special weekday feature, the reigning West Division champions from Salt Lake will travel to the “Capital City Of Ultimate” to face off for the first time with the Radicals in Madison on Thursday, June 18.
