The 2026 Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA) Championship Weekend will be held at Breese Stevens Field in Madison, WI on August 27-28. The event is shifting one day earlier than the originally announced dates last November. The “Capital City of Ultimate” will host the sport’s biggest event for the second consecutive season and fifth time overall. Each division champion out of the East, South, Central, and West will again advance to the “final four” event at the historic venue in the heart of downtown Madison in late summer, competing in two semifinals on Thursday and the title game on Friday night, the home of "Friday Night Frisbee".
The change was made following a scheduling overlap at Breese Stevens Field, where a large concert and stage setup is planned for Sunday. In coordination with venue management and production partners, the UFA proactively agreed to shift the event schedule one day earlier to ensure a smooth transition for all parties and to avoid any potential logistical challenges for attending fans.
Tickets for the 2026 UFA Championship Weekend are now on sale, including single-day passes ($25) and weekend passes ($40). VIP speciality sections, featuring unlimited beer and pizza, are also on sale at $80 for a single day or $150 for the weekend. Special pricing is available for students and youth (ages 4-12), with all kids ages three and under receiving free admission for all games. All fans who purchased tickets 2026 UFA Championship Weekend are eligible for a full refund if they cannot attend the newly scheduled event.
Last August, Breese Stevens Field welcomed more than 4,000 fans and hundreds of thousands watching live to see the Boston Glory capture their first UFA championship, led by 2025 MVP and rising superstar Tobe Decraene. The weekend also featured fan parties at nearby venues, ultimate frisbee youth clinics, and the inaugural Western Ultimate League vs. Premier Ultimate League All-Star Game–setting an attendance record for professional women’s ultimate frisbee.
“The 2025 event was the best in league history,” said UFA CEO & Commissioner Tim DeByl. “The play on the field was the strongest competition ever, but off the field, we felt this incredible energy from the fans throughout the weekend. Breese is a special neighborhood stadium experience, and the UFA showcases the best frisbee in the world. It’s the ultimate party!"
The Dallas Legion won the league title in 2016, the first time Madison hosted the event. The hometown Madison Radicals won the championship two years later and the New York Empire captured their first of two consecutive trophies in 2022. The Glory will look to repeat their unbelievable season as the last two league MVPs—Jeff Babbitt (2024) and Decraene (2025)—set their sights again on legendary Breese Stevens Field, which will also be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026.
The 2026 UFA regular season starts this Friday, April 24, with the first “Friday Night Frisbee” showcase with the Carolina Flyers taking on the San Diego Growlers at 10:00 PM/ET on the UFA YouTube channel. For more information, visit watchufa.com.
