Is there any way to watch these games in the UK? I watched every game of the XFL last season and a good many of the USFL but advertising for this new merged season has been awful for anyone outside the US. Any advice on this?
I think it is already per last minute with the genes starting on Saturday.

If you’re outside the US, best legal option is USTVNow.com.
It’s a LEGAL way to watch the games, the one-day pass is 4 USD or something
Why is it legal?
While the channel advertises to be for US Military abroad their terms and conditions DO NOT REFERENCE ANY OF THAT and basically EVERYONE can subscribe (both “legally” and “technically”.
Your next best option would be a streaming app like Youtube TV, Fubo TV, or Sling and a VPN to access the games. Those apps have access to Fox, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and FS1, which are the channels the games are being broadcast on, but you need a VPN to get around the region lock (I recommend either ExpressVPN or NordVPN if you plan on using one).
The only other alternative would be a pirated stream on one of the sports streaming sites out there (not going to name any names for obvious reasons).
Broadcast schedule if you need it for reference:

Conference championships on Saturday, June 8, 2024 (ABC) and Sunday, June 9, 2024 (Fox). UFL Championship on Sunday, June 16, 2024 (Fox).
Hope this helps.
There was one German channel with one XFL game live per week with German commentators. Seems nobody was watching so they are not carrying the UFL.
Don’t know why they are making it more difficult than it used to be to watch the games. Doesn’t exactly promote it very well when overseas viewers are excluded in this way. But thanks for the information, I guess the high seas is the only option.
To be fair to people posting these questions, the overseas broadcast details are often announced at the very last minute. So a question asked and answered a week ago may not be correct today (even if, in this instance, it actually is).
I’m not sure the UFL is making it more difficult. Isn’t it the case that no overseas broadcaster wants to buy the rights?
Agreed, I’m particular frustrated about the lack of access in Canada. We got all of the ESPN games on TSN last year (and on the TSN+ app) but this year we get nothing. If you’re in the US you have ESPN+ and the Fox Sports app that you can use to stream everything, but they put next to no thought in how anyone outside the US would be able to watch. We at least get the Fox and ABC games over the air but have to resort to apps + a VPN or piracy for everything else. It sucks.
Not sure abt that tbh but I do know that last year with the XFL I was able to access all the games through ESPN Player with no need for over-priced subscriptions or vpn’s.
I did the same, but you had to pay a subscription to ESPN to access ESPN Player. And it was ESPN’s decision to remove Player from the UK market.
Yeah but the subscription was just £7.99. Looking at YouTubeTV it looks like it’s over £50!!
