The UFL's technology team has conducted bimonthly meetings with its NFL counterparts this year, according to UFL senior vice president of technology Scott Harniman, and it will all be on display Sunday when the Birmingham Stallions take on the San Antonio Brahmas in the UFL's first championship game .
Some UFL coaches have advocated to expand the eight-player cap, Harniman said, a possibility that will be discussed before the 2025 season.Each UFL sideline has nine iPads connected to an internal fiber network that uploads two angles of every play -- All-22 and from high in the end zone -- in near-real time for review in DVSport software. One is designated for medical replays, leaving eight for coaches and players.
