The UFL is considering keeping the current eight teams for the 2025 season.
Michigan Panthers and Houston Roughnecks may relocate to improve attendance.
The league is deciding between two potential start dates: March 1st or March 29th.
As the inaugural season of the United Football League (UFL) enters its final two weeks, there's still plenty of action happening behind the scenes. While fans are focused on the conclusion of the regular season, league officials and stakeholders are already looking ahead to the 2025 seaso

Michigan looked like attendance was good yesterday. Crowd was vocal. For Field was much too large for a new team. Team is good enough to build a following in Michigan.
PACK FRAUD FIELD
Maybe a minor point but I feel it is relevant, Arlington Renegades need to put that masked cowboy with the cool red eyes on their helmets and get rid of that wonky R on their helmets...I would like to see expansion but it looks like we have 3 pretty bad teams (Memphis, Houston and Arlington) and diluting the talent pool with 2 more teams too quickly will not help...especially when a few of the best players will be heading off to the NFL as well. Hopefully there will be an influx of new players with NFL dreams to fill the voids.
I don’t think that anyone from those three teams will be going to the NFL
Michigan is the 2nd best team in the league
They need to get boots on the ground for a few weeks. Cities need to connect with the team.
I think if they make the announcement in September, that'll give all 8 teams time to sell season tickets to all the stadiums including Ford Field, and Rice Stadium (TDECU Stadium won't be ready till fall of 2025). Plus I would love to see the UFL Champion host the first Friday night game of the season.
I would love to see more teams return, but I also want the league to be successful long term.
If that means running it back with just 8 teams for another year so be it.
I would love to see them getting some kind of tv deal for a weekly prime time game. Don't know when or what day, don't care, just something that starts around 8-830pm. I was hoping 2025 or 2026 they expand to 10 teams so that 5th game each week would be in that slot.
10 teams with 6 playoff teams
This what I find so far As Chairwoman, Garcia led the XFL's ownership group alongside Dwayne Johnson and Gerry Cardinale's RedBird Capital Partners, which launched on February 18, 2023. At the end of 2023, the XFL was merged with the Fox Corporation owned USFL to form the United Football League with Garcia retaining partial ownership
I hear they still in the rock say it hey that picture posted have Houston Roughnecks lol on it u show 😂
what about owner
As long as Memphis has the Showboats. I am ok with this
The Michigan Panthers should consider moving to Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo. The branding is there and I think they will have a chance to get more people at the stadium. Also, expansion should only happen if there is owners involved. I want to see these eight teams have individual owners before expansion can happen. If they get more than eight owners interested than expand next season.
Thanks for this news ! It may not all be great for all of us! But it’s some positive news instead of constant negativity that is spreading all the time!
I am happy they keep Houston Roughnecks but I hear they could move back to Rice maybe hear they want maybe add more if not it ok keep 8 team am happy thank for the news
They should be the Houston Gamblers
@@krakenNation no not buy all new stuff again we are happy they keep Houston Roughnecks name
Why can't Birmingham keep their team Birmingham should up the money so they can keep the stallions I live in Alabama and was very proud of how good the stallions did other fans of the Birmingham stallions need to speak up in Birmingham needs to up the money to keep the stallions or start another football team
So the Panthers that can’t sell 65k seats in Ford Field will move outside and try to fill a college stadium that either holds 80k or 100k? Good luck with that
You have bad information this week or this league is really fucked up. TDECU stadium is under renovation and won’t be completed until the fall of 2025. And you report the Panthers will move into a bigger stadium? What the fuck is going on here?
😂
10 teams sounds good. Also. Please stop playing two games at the same time.
The UFL struggles because they act like the SEC and They are Conference USA. The title game is abysmal right now. The XFL merger was a bad idea. That half has a major disconnect with the football fans they need in the seats and create a brand for. All flash and then a mediocre dance makes for a bad time.
You would think that Spartan Stadium with 75,000 capacity would be a better venue than the truly vast Michigan Stadium with 107,000 capacity.
Plus.The Spartan brand is not as big as the Wolverine iconic national champion brand and could welcome the additional income and exposure for their
stadium from the UFL. While Michigan could see the UFL as not worthy of playing on their field. Even a typical Battlehawks attendance would look pathetic
in the vast bowl in Ann Arbor. I could see MSU giving the UFL decent lease terms because they have something to gain beyond the payments while Michigan
really has nothing to gain from the UFL and more at risk to their brand seeing poorly (relatively speaking) attended pro football in their iconic venue.
I would imagine that the UFL would expand to 10 teams to provide Friday night content for FOX while still playing two Saturday and two Sunday games,
if FOX pays more money.
Both are bigger than Ford Field so it doesn’t make logical sense
WTF are they doing with the stupid regional coverage? That is BS. HELL, they only have 4 games a week. Gonna loose a lot of fans with that boneheaded decision.
Start in May.
So in reality ... you have no idea what you're talking about, and I have wasted 14 minutes of my life. Thank you.
Yk this is how a bad day would end,I want my sea dragons back and now there saying basically no. They had a whole season don’t use the whole merger as an excuse. If this is how it’ll be than ig I won’t be watching another season of this crappy league
Travel may be an issue with expansion to the West Coast. Eventually I think they'll be 2 teams on the coast, or perhaps a return of the Vipers
@@bruceellenburg429 XFL side didn’t pay to keep the vipers Brand name so the vipers are officially gone.
@sectorz1019 i mean regardless its a future thing
Just not next year
2025 is a weird year for expansion anyways
The Dragons and Breakers are likely on a shortlist for comebacks tho since they are valuable fanbases
@@fate8718 how can you say it’s a weird year for expansion,this league needs expansion only 8 teams suck. No western teams sucks even more
@sectorz1019
1. Revenue aint all that rn
2. A lot of stadium renovations finish for the 26 season and wpuldnt be ready for the 25 season
3. Not expanding rn helps sell the authenticity of the league since not shuffling it up buys fan trust
4. Gives more time for owners to buy a franchise from the OG 8 which helps it
Like I hate 8 as well
However, if staying at 8 this up comming year keeps it alive long enough to expand naturally Im cool with it
