DETROIT – In a major shakeup of the United Football League (UFL) for the 2026 season, the Michigan Panthers are among four teams slated for relocation, according to James Larsen of PFNewsroom.

The Michigan Panthers were knocked out of the UFL playoff semifinals by the Birmingham Stallions, who completed a second-half rally to beat Michigan, 31-18, for the second straight week.

Bates, of course, has been the story of the Panthers' season, since he made a 64-yard field goal to lead Michigan to victory in the season opener. It was his first made field goal in any game.
