The 2024 UFL draft, also known as the 2024 UFL college draft, was the first meeting of United Football League (UFL) franchises to select newly eligible players ahead of the 2025 UFL season. It was the first rookie draft since the league formed from the merger of the United States Football League (USFL) and XFL. Previously, the two predecessor leagues held separate rookie drafts in 2023 prior to the merger and then a dispersal draft in 2024 following the merger and contraction from 16 total pre-merger teams to the 8 teams that competed in the 2024 season. The draft was held on July 17, 2024 and was announced only six days prior.[1][2] The announcement of the draft also coincided with the beginning a series of player showcase combines held by the league that would continue to be held though October 2024 after the draft but before the start of the 2025 season.[3]
