UFL, from Strikerz Inc., is a free-to-play football (soccer) game with an in-game store, available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC with cross-play between them. At its core is a club built from player cards, alongside online competition and content against the computer. This page collects our overview and four guides in a suggested reading order: from your first match to squad building, attacking and defending.

Everything here is based on UFL’s official documentation as of October 7, 2026. The drills in the guides are our suggestions, not measured results. Mobile is on a separate soft-launch track; these guides cover PC and consoles.
