The Leading SaaS-based Sports Science and Technology Company will Power All Medical Data & Analytics for the League Across All Teams
The United Football League (UFL) and its eight teams will integrate Kitman Labs’ Intelligence Platform (iP) as a means to join other elite sports leagues, franchises and clubs, including those associated with the NFL, NBA, Premier League, MLS, NWSL and NCAA, that are working with the leading SaaS-based sports science, performance intelligence and technology company. The progressive spring football league is a result of the XFL and USFL merger in 2024. The league headquarters are in Arlington, TX with teams located across the United States. UFL is under the combined ownership of RedBird Capital Partners, FOX, Dany Garcia and Dwayne Johnson (The Rock). As a global sports technology and analytics leader, Kitman Labs will deploy the new Electronic Medical Records (EMR) of record for the League, inclusive of the member teams in Arlington (TX), Birmingham (AL), Detroit (MI), Houston (TX), San Antonio (TX), Memphis (TN), St. Louis (MO), and Washington D.C. The Sports Techie community blog readers and followers can watch live UFL games on ESPN/ABC and FOX. Kitman Labs has headquarters in Silicon Valley and Dublin.
“The UFL needed to ensure that we unify data, people, and processes around shared infrastructure and technology to support the continued improvement and evolution of both the League and teams,” said Phil Hedrick, Director of Athletic Training, UFL. “Kitman Labs’ iP and Performance Medicine Solution allows us to provide best-in-class technology and tools to empower our medical teams, practitioners, and players while leveraging medical data to advance player health, wellness, and performance outcomes across the League.”
iP Rollout
The Performance Medicine Solution – one of four Solutions offered as part of Kitman Labs’ iP: Intelligence Platform – will provide the centralized technology and infrastructure to automate and power accurate, league-wide medical data collection and analysis, drive collaboration among all relevant league and team stakeholders, yield actionable intelligence to support specific performance outcomes and enable data-led decision-making and research.
Each Team in the UFL will operate from a distinct, configurable system designed to support their respective operating philosophy and will aggregate and mobilize all player medical data in one integrated platform – providing an accurate, real-time view of each player from a health, injury and readiness perspective.
iP: Intelligence Platform will enable the UFL and Teams to:
- Unify, consolidate and standardize league-wide medical documentation and data collection – eliminating data gaps, inconsistencies and inaccuracy and facilitate club-level compliance
- Collaborate and align relevant internal stakeholders across both the Medical and Performance Teams to support evidence-based decision-making around player health, care and wellness
- Enable practitioners to spend less time dedicated to data collection, analytics and administrative oversight and more time with athletes
- Establish a solid and complete data set to support ongoing and future league-wide research initiatives and innovation
- Establish a data and analytics infrastructure that can scale, adapt and grow as the League continues to evolve
“It’s clear that the UFL is laying the foundation for sustainable growth and innovation at the League and Club-level. By deploying a league-wide medical solution, the UFL is providing a platform not only capable of aggregating and analyzing disparate data sets and ensuring data integrity, but powering the advanced analytics and actionable intelligence necessary to maximize player health and performance outcomes,” said Stephen Smith, Founder & CEO Kitman Labs. “Each team within the UFL will have a configurable operating system, designed to support the unique needs of their particular club and operating style, providing each with the insights necessary to support data-led decision-making at every level of the organization.”

Kitman’s AI Platform predicted 5 NFL sleepers before the NFL Draft in Detroit.
The UFL’s first Championship game on FOX is scheduled for Sunday, June 16.
The final UFL game is less than one month away which might be enough time for Kitman Labs to have their EMR and iP ready for data storage and analytics accessibility for perhaps the playoffs, and for sure the upcoming off-season, and the 2025 season.
