50 Cent Brings Star Power to UFL Championship
From Queens to the 50-yard line, 50 Cent will bring his iconic catalog and larger-than-life presence to the UFL’s championship stage.
Over his career, the Grammy Award-winning rapper, entrepreneur, actor, and producer has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and built a multimedia empire spanning music, television, film, publishing, and business ventures.
“50 Cent is a global icon whose music and energy perfectly match the momentum of the UFL,” said UFL Co-Owner Mike Repole. “The United Bowl is more than a football game—it’s a celebration of sports, entertainment, and fan culture.”
Special Ticket Promotion Announced
To celebrate the announcement, the league unveiled a limited-time 50-hour ticket offer, allowing fans to buy two tickets and receive two additional tickets for just 50 cents each.
Fans who purchase tickets for the game will also automatically be entered for a chance to stand on the field during the halftime performance.
Ticket prices for the United Bowl currently start at $19 through Ticketmaster.

The league also announced that additional celebrity appearances, performers, giveaways, and fan activations will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Audi Field Set for Electric Atmosphere
Audi Field, home of the defending champion DC Defenders, has become one of the most energetic venues in spring football.
