MESQUITE, Texas - TelAve -- The United Grid League will close its 2026 regular season Aug. 29-30 at the North Texas Strength Expo, where six matches over two days will determine which teams advance to United Grid League Finals Weekend, Oct. 3-4 at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, Florida.

The United Grid League is a semi-professional, co-ed team sport league where men and women compete together in fast-paced, head-to-head races combining strength, gymnastics, speed, endurance and strategy. Athletes compete as specialists, with coaches deploying different combinations of players based on the demands of each race.

The Texas matches follow a pivotal weekend at American Dream in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the playoff picture tightened considerably. New York won twice in front of its home crowd, while Texas' own Houston Bandits enter the final weekend undefeated at 2-0 with two matches remaining. With three teams from each conference advancing to the postseason, the weekend in Texas leaves little room for error.
