ST. LOUIS—On Tuesday, the United Football League announced when the spring league would kick off its 2025 season and when it will hold its league championship, but the outlines of the season mirror what fans saw in 2024.

The league, in its second season following the merger between the XFL, which was the St. Louis Battlehawks' league, and the USFL, will begin the 2025 campaign on Friday, March 28. The league did not release a schedule for the ten week regular season Tuesday, but said it will feature one Friday night contest each week.

If the Battlehawks do host the opening weekend, it will come just as the St. Louis Cardinals open the 2025 Major League Baseball season on Thursday, March 27, with a three game series against the Minnesota Twins at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals have an off-day March 28.

St. Louis will host six contests in the upcoming UFL season, due to a scheduling conflict for the San Antonio Brahmas’ home venue, the AlamoDome.

The Battlehawks have consistently led spring football in attendance dating back to the first re-boot of the XFL in 2020 that was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tuesday’s announcement said the league’s conference championship games would follow the regular season schedule and be capped off by the UFL championship game June 14, 2025. St. Louis hosted the championship last season, captured by the Birmingham Stallions, who defeated San Antonio. The league has not said where the 2025 title game would be held.

The Battlehawks said Tuesday that season tickets would go on sale to the general public Oct. 15.
