"Football fans have never had an opportunity to share in the music taste of the players they watch on the football field, but we are changing that by developing the UFL Universal Music Jukebox," said UFL Senior Vice President of Consumer Products and Licensing BILL UGLOW. "This is an intimate and exclusive look into their personal music tastes.
"Players are routinely seen wearing headphones and listening to music as they prepare for a game and relax afterwards and now UFL fans can listen to those same songs. Football and music have become integrated in stadiums and on game highlight videos, so partnering with the world's leading music company is a natural and an exciting move for the UFL.
"We will be intrigued to see which players find themselves top of the UFL Universal Music Jukebox charts when we track the number of downloads a player's favorite song attracts."
UFL players made their selections from different genres of music available within the Universal Music catalogue, including Pop, Rock, R&B, Country, Jazz, Classical and Latino.
