Dear UFL Players,

Today, we’re excited to share an important update with the entire UFL community: starting May 22, UFL on mobile will become available to players across almost the entire world as part of the Mobile Soft Launch Stage 2: Global Access. This marks a major milestone for the franchise and the next step in the evolution of the UFL franchise following the releases on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

UFL first launched in December 2024, and has attracted more than 7 million players around the world since then. During this time, UFL has become one of the most talked-about new football simulators in recent years, bringing together a community that values its fair, skill-based gameplay and modern approach to football simulation.

Now, we’re taking another big step: bringing UFL to mobile devices.

UFL on mobile is being built specifically for mobile gaming, combining the console football experience with faster, more accessible, and more comfortable gameplay designed for mobile audiences. Players can expect AAA-quality visuals, dynamic matches, simplified controls, quick game sessions, and a mobile-first design while preserving the core identity of UFL as a skill-based football experience.

Players will be able to create their own football clubs, collect footballers with different rarities and attributes, upgrade player cards, unlock new content through progression systems, and gradually build their dream squad. Live-ops systems will play a major role in the mobile version, including limited-time player collections, Team Passes, seasonal activities, and special events inspired by the world’s biggest football tournaments.

At launch, players will have access to Training Mode, PvE Career, PvP, and a 4v4 multiplayer mode where four real players simultaneously control individual footballers on the pitch in fast-paced matches. This mode will become one of the key features of UFL on mobile.

One of the first major live-ops events will be the Open Tournament, a limited-time in-game event inspired by the heightened global excitement that surrounds world football every four years. Players will be able to choose countries and difficulty levels, progress through tournament stages, and earn exclusive rewards.

Licensing and partnerships will also play an important role in the overall gameplay experience. Through collaboration with FIFPro, the game features real footballers, while the partnership with adidas brings the official adidas Trionda match ball, themed gear, and stadium content into UFL on mobile.

Federico Valverde and Raphinha appear in UFL on mobile as the project’s ambassadors, with Raphinha guiding players through the onboarding experience and introducing key gameplay mechanics during the early stages of progression.

Throughout the expansion of the soft launch phase, the Strikerz Inc. team will continue to actively develop the project together with the community. We are carefully gathering player feedback, analyzing gameplay data, and preparing new updates for content, game modes, and core gameplay systems. The full global launch of UFL on mobile will take place later in 2026.

UFL on mobile will be available on iOS and Android.

See you on the pitch,
The UFL Team

The UFL Team

Dear UFL Players,

Starting May 14, Squad Swaps comes to UFL — a new way to turn unused player cards into meaningful upgrades for your club.

Duplicate cards and lower-rated players no longer have to sit idle in your collection. Now, they can be turned into valuable rewards and help drive your squad forward.

Let’s take a closer look at how Squad Swaps works.

What Is Squad Swaps?

Squad Swaps is an exchange system where you use player cards to assemble lineups that meet specific requirements in exchange for rewards.

Each Squad is a separate challenge with its own conditions. Once all requirements are met, you submit the Squad and receive your reward.

How It Works

1. Choose a Squad
2. Build a lineup that matches the requirements
3. Submit the Squad (cards used for it will be permanently removed from your club)
4. Claim your reward

Each Squad comes with a fixed completion requirement.

Squad Categories

To make navigation easier, all Squads are divided into categories:

Upgrades

Increase the tier and rating of player cards.

Players

Upgrade player cards by squad line (attack, midfield, defense, including goalkeeper), with the option to choose specific players.

Promo

Earn packs, with limited-time availability and completion limits.

Completing Squads

• Each completed Squad grants a specific reward that is displayed in advance. 
• Squads within the same category can be completed in any order.

Squad Requirements

Every Squad includes a set of squad-building requirements:

• Card rarity
• Number of players
• Roles
• Card rating (minimum or maximum)
• Link-Up Style
• Nationality or League

Rewards

Every Squad includes a reward that is granted once all requirements are completed.

Reward Types 

Rewards may include:

• Packs
• Player cards

Additional Limitations

Some Squads may include additional limitations:

• Time-based — available only for a limited period
• Quantity-based — limited number of completions

A New Layer of Strategy

Squad Swaps turns unused cards into a valuable resource for developing your club.

Instead of simply keeping them in your collection, you can now put them to good use: experiment with different lineups, fill key positions, and strengthen your squad with a clear purpose.

The feature adds a new strategic layer to the game that goes beyond the matches themselves.

Squad Swaps is already waiting for you in-game. Use your cards wisely and start strengthening your squad today.

Dear UFL Players,

In this article, you’ll learn how Link-Up Play Styles work in UFL.

UFL’s Link-Up Play Styles system is a dynamic feature that enhances your team’s performance by modeling chemistry between footballers based on their shared traits. Each Player Card is defined by three core attributes — Play Style, Nationality, and League — which can be combined strategically to unlock performance bonuses.

The system rewards smart team-building with instant boosts, introduces variety through unexpected combinations, and keeps gameplay engaging by avoiding repetitive mechanics.

Link-Up is heavily influenced by a Player Card’s tier — higher tiers unlock stronger bonuses and more strategic possibilities.

Please note: Basic Cards are not affected by the Link-Up System.

Here’s how Link-Up Points are calculated:

• Link-Up Point = 0
  The footballer has no active links or is not in a valid position.
• Link-Up Point = 1
  The footballer has some links, but not enough to activate all possible connections.
• Link-Up Point = 2
  The footballer has enough links to fill all available connection slots, but not more than that.
• Link-Up Point = 3
  The footballer has twice as many links as required — or more.
