The Louisville Kings’ inaugural drive began with a dropped pass that was deflected and intercepted by the Stallions’ Dyontae Johnson. The Stallions capitalized on the turnover, scoring on their ensuing possession with a five-yard run by Snoop Conner, though the extra point attempt was unsuccessful. Louisville responded on its next drive with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Jason Bean to Lucky Jackson. The Stallions then had a field goal attempt blocked on their next possession, but later converted a 31-yard field goal by kicker Jonathan Garibay following a Kings punt. With under a minute remaining in the first half, Kings running back Ian Wheeler fumbled at the goal line, and the Stallions maintained a 9–7 lead at halftime. Singer Russell Dickerson performed during the halftime show. ^[11]

To start the second half, following a Stallions failed fourth-down conversion, Kings kicker Tanner Brown made a 37-yard field goal. Louisville then stopped Birmingham on a fourth-down attempt at the 38-yard line. Brown added a 21-yard field goal to extend the Kings’ lead to 13–9 with 8:42 remaining. On the Stallions’ next drive, Matt Corral threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Justyn Ross, but Garibay missed the extra point, giving the Stallions a 15–13 lead with under two minutes remaining. Jaden Shirden returned the ensuing kickoff to midfield, but Bean was ultimately intercepted by Hudson Clark. The Stallions were forced to punt with under a minute remaining, but their defense held Louisville, securing the victory.

After both teams exchanged field goals in the first quarter, Kings quarterback Jason Bean was replaced by backup quarterback Chandler Rogers, who led the team to two additional field goals by Tanner Brown, giving the Kings a 9–6 lead. ^[12] Late in the first half, Storm starting quarterback Jack Plummer left the game due to injury. His replacement, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, made his UFL debut and completed two of three passes for 19 yards before Plummer returned on a third-and-19 play, connecting with wide receiver K. J. Hamler for a 41-yard touchdown reception with under a minute remaining. The extra point was missed, and Orlando led 12–9 at halftime.

After a scoreless third quarter, Plummer found wide receiver Elijhah Badger for a 39-yard touchdown pass. Following a near interception return touchdown by Mishael Powell off Rogers, Kings cornerback Deantre Prince intercepted Plummer in the end zone, giving the Kings one final opportunity. Bean re-entered the game at quarterback, but the offense was unable to score and was shut out in the second half. The Kings ultimately lost 19–9, finishing with just 27 rushing yards on 13 carries and 216 yards of total offense. ^[13]

In a rematch from the previous week, the Storm took a 10–6 lead into halftime, highlighted by an 8-yard touchdown pass from Jack Plummer to Chris Rowland. Kings quarterback Jason Bean made his third consecutive start after being benched the prior week and played most of the first half, briefly exiting for a few plays due to injury.

To open the second half, Bean connected with Zach Davidson on a 23-yard touchdown pass, marking the Kings’ first touchdown since the first quarter of their season opener and ending a scoring drought of over 100 minutes of game time. Orlando responded with a 20-yard touchdown pass from Plummer to Jashaun Corbin. Plummer later added another second-half touchdown pass to K. J. Hamler. Bean answered with three second-half touchdown passes of his own, including one to Lucky Jackson and a second to Davidson in the final two minutes to tie the game at 27–27.

After neither team scored in the best-of-three shootout, the Kings were stopped on their fourth sudden-death attempt. Orlando then secured the victory after Louisville committed two consecutive defensive penalties, resulting in an awarded two-point conversion. ^[14] The overtime format drew significant scrutiny from fans and media following the game. ^{[15] [16]} League owner Mike Repole commented on X, stating, “Fans don’t like the rule. I don’t like the rule either. I hear you guys... We owe our fans better.” ^[17]
