The 2026 Dallas Renegades season was the fifth season for the Dallas Renegades and their third in the UFL. The Renegades failed to improve from their 5–5 record from last season following their Week 8 home loss to the expansion team Orlando Storm, and failed to match it after another loss to another expansion team, the Louisville Kings.
Despite starting the season with a 3–0 record, the Renegades collapsed down the stretch, enduring a 6-game losing streak, which included two blown leads of 10–0 in back-to-back weeks as well as two blowout losses to the aforementioned Kings, the second of which eliminated them from playoff contention for a third straight season.
Offseason Coaching Changes On December 30, 2025, Rick Neuheisel was named as the head coach of the Renegades. On February 23, 2026, the Renegades announced their full 2026 coaching staff.
