2025 United Football League Betting Online
The UFL betting season kicks off on March 28, 2025, following last season’s thrilling inaugural run by the Birmingham Stallions. The defending champs remain the clear favorites to repeat, while the BattleHawks sit as the top challenger. The Defenders, Brahmas, and Panthers round out the second tier of contenders, while the Renegades, Showboats, and Roughnecks enter as longshots on the UFL futures odds.
Skip Holtz’s Stallions dominated the league last year, winning nine of 10 regular-season games (5-5 ATS) before cruising to the franchise’s third championship. They covered the UFL spread in both playoff matchups, first taking down the Michigan Panthers in the conference semis and then shut the San Antonio Brahmas out in the UFL title game.
While Birmingham needs to make a change under center with league MVP Adrian Martinez now a member of the New York Jets, the Stallions remain the team to beat according to oddsmakers—as well as UFL futures bettors. Since hitting the board 2/1 favorites to repeat, Birmingham has been bet down to +165 to repeat.

*Odds as of Tuesday, March 25, 11:00 AM ET
Sticking close behind are the St. Louis BattleHawks, a team that has consistently excelled since spring football’s return in 2020. Under Anthony Becht, they finished the regular season at 7-3 straight up (SU) and 5-5 against the spread (ATS) last season to secure the top seed in the XFL Division.
Despite sweeping San Antonio during the regular season, the BattleHawks couldn’t complete the trifecta, falling 25-15 to the Brahmas as 3.5-point favorites in the semifinals. With A.J. McCarron departing in the offseason, St. Louis has seen a slight adjustment from +350 to +360 to win it all.
The DC Defenders fell grossly short of expectations last season, finishing 4-6 SU and 5-5 ATS, ultimately missing the playoffs. While Jordan Ta’amu came close to MVP honors with nearly 1,850 passing yards and 15 touchdowns, the offense struggled to consistently put points on the board. Defensively, only Memphis allowed more points per game than D.C. who got ripped for north of 25 points per game.
Despite last season’s struggles, oddsmakers anticipate a rebound for the original XFL members, listing the Defenders as 6/1 contenders to capture their first UFL title. With the news of Reggie Barlow shockingly stepping down as head coach to overlook Tennessee State’s football program, DC’s odds of winning it all have jumped to +650.
Just a year after winning only three games and finishing with the league’s second-worst offense, the San Antonio Brahmas turned things around in a big way in 2024, going 7-3 SU and 6-4 versus the closing UFL betting lines to secure the franchise’s first playoff berth. They were also the only team to hand Birmingham a regular-season loss, upsetting the Stallions 18-9 as 8.5-point home underdogs.
However, they couldn’t replicate that success in the championship game, falling 25-0 in an ugly shutout loss. Wade Phillips’ squad dominated defensively, allowing a league-low 15.3 points per game. While offseason moves were made to bolster the offense, it’s the defense that has the Brahmas listed at +525 to finish the job this season—down from the +600 opener.
Initially listed as +650 choices to win the UFL title, the odds of Mike Nolan’s Michigan Panthers have flexed to +700 with the team entering 2025 looking to build upon last season’s solid 7-3 SU and 5-5 ATS records. The showing resulted in attaining the USFL Division’s No. 2 seed. While they pushed division rival Birmingham in the regular season, they couldn’t keep pace in the Conference Championship against the eventual champs.
The Panthers return their quarterback duo of Danny Etling and E.J. Perry, as well as leading rusher Matthew Colburn. However, it’s the presence of defensive standouts Breeland Speaks (9.5 sacks) and UFL interception co-leader Kai Nacua that has oddsmakers optimistic about Michigan’s chances to contend in 2025.
The remaining UFL contenders include the Arlington Renegades ( +950 ), Memphis Showboats (20/1), and Houston Roughnecks (20/1).
Bob Stoops' Renegades finished at the bottom of the XFL Division standings with a 3-7 SU record but managed a respectable 6-4 tally against the closing UFL odds. Despite a strong finish, a sluggish start derailed their chances of defending their title in the reboot XFL season.
John DeFilippo’s first season at the helm in Memphis was rough, as the Showboats struggled offensively scoring less than 19 points per game, and allowed a league-worst 29 points per contest. The ineptitude on both sides of the ball resulted in a 2-8 SU and 4-6 ATS campaign with each win coming against division rival Houston.
As for the Roughnecks, they posted the league’s worst record at 1-9 SU and 4-6 ATS, prompting a full-scale roster overhaul to better position C.J. Johnson for success in his second season as head coach.

The United Football League (UFL) is a professional spring football league born of a merger between the United States Football League (USFL) and the XFL.
In 2025, the UFL will be comprised of eight teams and two divisions. All UFL regular season games will be played in the home fields of the teams involved. Unlike the old USFL format, there will be no neutral site games. The league was created as a "merger of equals," with the respective leagues' owners assuming 50% ownership of the newly formed UFL.
The regular season kicks off on Friday, March 28, 2025, with the championship game on Saturday, June 14, 2025.
In the United States, the television rights for the UFL are held by Fox and ESPN, which previously held the rights to the USFL and XFL, respectively.
The league is divided into two conferences, the USFL Conference and the XFL Conference, each a continuation of its respective league. Each team will play a ten-game schedule with no bye weeks, playing two games against each conference rival (one home and one away) and one game against each team in the other conference, like the XFL, all eight teams playing in their home markets.
The UFL has reworked the playoff system so that the winners of each conference will host the league semifinals as before. In contrast, the two remaining playoff seeds will be wild-card bids going to the best remaining overall records, regardless of conference.
