UFL 2025 Season Kicks Off: Brahmas Face Renegades in Arlington

ARLINGTON, Texas – The 2025 United Football League (UFL) season is set to begin this Saturday, March 29, with a highly anticipated match between the San Antonio Brahmas and the Arlington Renegades at Choctaw Stadium.

San Antonio, last season’s runner-up, finished 2024 with a record of 7-3. They are looking for redemption after suffering a 25-0 defeat to the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL Championship. The Brahmas are coached by Wade Phillips, a veteran with extensive coaching experience in professional football.

The Brahmas’ roster features key players including quarterback Kellen Mond, who had an impressive college career with over 9,000 passing yards. Running back Anthony McFarland is also a pivotal offensive piece, along with wide receivers Racey McMath and Marquez Stevenson. Tight end Alizé Mack adds further depth to their formidable lineup.

On the other side, the Arlington Renegades enter the season under head coach Bob Stoops. Despite their championship win in the 2023 XFL with a subpar 4-6 record, they struggled last year, finishing 3-7. This season, they seek to improve behind quarterback Luis Perez, who both delivered impressive performances in passing and is expected to lead the team effectively.

Key players for Arlington include running backs Kalen Ballage and De’Veon Smith, along with wide receivers Deontay Burnett and Isaiah Winstead. The Renegades hope their strong defense and ability to control turnovers can turn the tides against the Brahmas this Saturday.

The teams last met at the Alamodome in San Antonio during the 2024 season, where the Brahmas claimed victory with a score of 20-15. Will they come out on top again? Fans can catch the live action on FOX this Saturday at 4:00 PM ET.

As the UFL embarks on its second season since merging the XFL and USFL, excitement is high across the league. The regular season spans ten weeks, culminating in playoffs and a championship in June.
