Single-game tickets will be on sale on Thursday, which means it’ll be the first chance for most football fans to buy at least one game ticket. But which ones are the best ones to attend?
In a league with many competitive teams, it may be tough to decide which games to attend. After the craziness of 2024, the possibilities for who will be good are endless, but that won’t change the fact that the games will be fun to watch.
Here are the best UFL games for fans to go to in 2025.
Week 1: San Antonio Brahmas at Arlington Renegades
Every Week 1 game features a 2024 playoff participant on the road against a team that missed the playoffs as the home team. San Antonio and Arlington are always in defensive battles with two teams that ended strong last season. The Renegades won three of their previous four games to close 2024, and the team looks stacked with many returning starters, including UFL leading passer Luis Perez. San Antonio will have a new quarterback under center, but head coach Wade Phillips consistently has one of the best defenses so that the team will run as usual.
Week 6: Memphis Showboats at Houston Roughnecks
Last season, the Showboats and Roughnecks had the two worst records in the UFL, but both teams went through tremendous transformations, whether it was the front office, coaching staff, or the roster. Showboats' new head coach, Ken Whisenhunt, should have his team in midseason form by this point, with the offense looking to be more dangerous in the passing game. Houston kept their head coach, but new general manager Will Lewis gave the roster a much-needed face lift that should make the Roughnecks more competitive.
Week 8: Birmingham Stallions at St. louis battlehawks
Like last year, the Stallions and Battlehawks game was in the second half of the season and had playoff implications. It should be more of the same with two of the best teams in spring football since 2020. Birmingham headman Skip Holtz will have his Stallions in the hunt to win their unprecedented fourth straight league title. Battlehawks head coach Anthony Becht must find a quarterback first, but the talent around the new quarterback will make their offense unstoppable once again.
Week 9: Michigan Panthers at Birmingham Stallions
The two best teams in the USFL Conference will battle for what could be the game that decides who will host a playoff home game. Michigan showed great improvement thanks to the running game leading the offense and the defense creating multiple turnovers. Birmingham has lost only four games in the last three years, so they will be in the conversation to win the conference and possibly get the UFL title.
Week 10: St. Louis Battlehawks at D.C. Defenders
As for the XFL Conference, it is a toss-up on who will win the conference as all four teams could be in the running for it. Since the Brahmas-Renegades game was already mentioned, taking a look at the Battlehawks and Defenders game is interesting. If the Defenders can stay healthy, they have the talent to stay competitive and could play spoiler to St. Louis. Becht has the pressure to get St. Louis back to the postseason and get them to the team’s first league title game.
