UNITED FOOTBALL LEAGUE RETURNS MARCH 28
WASHINGTON, D.C. (September 17, 2024) - The United Football League (UFL) today announced its return date for the 2025 season. The UFL Kickoff Weekend begins March 28.
The league’s 2025 season will kick off on a new night, adding Friday night football to its spring schedule. Media partners ESPN, ABC and FOX will once again air all UFL games.
“Adding Friday nights to our spring football schedule speaks to how strong our league has become,” said President and CEO Russ Brandon. “Our teams have been working diligently this offseason to prepare for 2025, and we look forward to bringing that work to life in our second season two.”
The 2025 UFL season will consist of a 10-week regular-season schedule, followed by Conference Championship games and concluding with the UFL Championship on Saturday, June 14. With the addition of Friday night football, next season’s broadcast schedule will feature ten Friday night games broadcast on FOX.
"The D.C. Defenders are proud to return to the District for a second season as part of the UFL and a fourth season as the region's premier spring football team," said Kate Greenberg, Vice President of Business Operations for the Defenders. "Fans can expect the same high energy atmosphere with increased opportunities to get close to on-field football action and off-field activations with players and coaches."
The Defenders will once again call Audi Field home as the team looks to return to championship form. Current Defenders season ticket members will receive step-by-step instructions on how to choose their new seats for the 2025 season, along with a timeline of when they will enjoy an exclusive selection window. Seat selection will be virtual and will be on a tiered basis, starting on Wednesday, Sept. 24. Fans who place a deposit now for season tickets prior to the public on sale date will have an exclusive window to select seats before tickets go on sale to the general public starting Oct. 15.
