The United Football League and its Players Association confirmed a new collective bargaining agreement after six months of talks, the union officials said on Friday.
The main attraction of the new CBA involves an increase in minimum wage, which is more accessible for players who appear in all 10 regular season games, from $ 55,000 to $ 62,005, and more access to year -long health care.
The final approval pending deal from the UFL is retrospective to the introduction of the training camp on March 2 and lasts till the end of the 2026 campaign.
“This is a reflection of the fact that UFL and UFPA eventually wanted to come together to reach a permanent deal,” a UFPA’s leading negotiator Harry Marino told ESPN, which would ensure that the spring football would be to live here. ” “And as hard work was done as a conversation, I think it is changing the page and saying,” Okay, now we are going to work in partnership to ensure that it ensures this and succeeds. “
UFL has not yet made a public statement on the agreement.
In addition to making and making all the players eligible for health care, the new CBA also increases the size of the roster, cap of the number of paddy practices per week (two), and installs a bonus system for the awards: $ 5,000 for the Player of the Week, $ 5,000 for Player of the Year, $ 5,000 for the Player of the Year $ 5,000 for the League MVP for the player and UFL Championships winning $ 5,000.
