On February 27, 2026, Frost signed with the St. Louis Battlehawks of the United Football League.[12] Frost began the season as the backup quarterback to Brandon Silvers. In Week 3 against the Birmingham Stallions, he replaced an inefficient Silvers on the final possession of the first half with the Battlehawks leading 13–7. On the first possession of the second half, Frost threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown by Mario Goodrich on his first pass attempt. Trailing 23–13 in the fourth quarter, Frost threw three touchdown passes, including a 64-yard touchdown to Hakeem Butler and an 11-yard go-ahead touchdown to tight end Tyler Neville in the final two minutes, helping secure a 34–30 victory.

He struggled the following week against the DC Defenders, completing just 6 of 21 passes for 144 yards and two interceptions, though he threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to Butler, as the Battlehawks lost 28–22.

Heading into the matchup against the Columbus Aviators, Frost was benched in favor of Luis Perez, who had been acquired in a trade two weeks earlier.[14]
