The end is in sight as the 2025 UFL season winds down. The playoff teams are set and the top two teams in each division will square off in their division championship games. The winners will face each other for the 2025 UFL championship.

In the USFL Division matchup, reigning UFL champion Birmingham will take on Michigan once again. The two teams have played each other five times over the past two seasons. The Stallions have won all five games.

In the XFL Division matchup, the St. Louis Battlehawks have the league’s best record and will host the DC Defenders for the division title. Should the Battlehawks win that game, they will get to battle for the UFL title in their home stadium. The Dome at America’s Center is the home stadium for St. Louis.

With the end of the UFL season approaching, it means that the 2025 NFL season is not that far away. Just as our Scores & Stats experts kept you up to date with the insight, analysis, and picks for each week of the UFL season, they will continue to do the same when the NFL season rolls around.

UFL Championship Odds

Check out the latest UFL Championship odds courtesy of the best sports betting sites:

The Birmingham Stallions were installed as the favorites to capture a second consecutive UFL title prior to the start of the 2025 regular season. The Stallions stumbled a few times and they weren’t as dominant as many expected. That would include Scores & Stats best handicappers.

The big surprise this season has been the St. Louis Battlehawks. After winning the XFL Division in 2024, St. Louis was upset by San Antonio who represented the division in the UFL championship game.

St. Louis went into the final week of the regular season with the league’s best record. That is reflected in their odds to win the UFL title. The Battlehawks are the new favorite at +175 odds.

UFL Teams

The following is a breakdown of each UFL Playoff team fighting for the 2025 UFL Championship:

Birmingham Stallions

Last year’s champion didn’t have a dominant season like 2024. The Stallions offense stumbled a bit, but Birmingham still won the USFL Division once again. They did it with defense, holding opponents to an average of 17.5 points per game. The offense finally got it going later in the season, averaging over 28 points per game from Week 4 through Week 9.

The Stallions were ranked No. 2 against the run and the defense allowed the fewest passing touchdowns (6) in the UFL this season. Matt Corral started the season at quarterback, but J’Mar Smith took over after Corral suffered a hip injury. Smith has been electric which is one of the reasons why Birmingham scored 26 or more points in Weeks 4 through 9.

DC Defenders

The DC offense was the league’s best. QB Jordan Ta’amu is the UFL’s leading passer with 2,155 yards through nine games. Ta’amu leads the league in touchdown passes too with 17. The Defenders are an “all or nothing” type offense as Ta’amu only completes 54.4 percent of his passes and DC only averages 98.1 rushing yards per game.

On the other end, DC’s defense is its Achilles heel. The Defenders are one of three UFL teams to give up more than 200 points this season. DC gave up the second-most points this season and wound up with a point differential of just +6. That defense will have to step up come playoff time.

Michigan Panthers

Michigan had the UFL’s best offense in 2025, averaging 24.5 points per game. The Panthers did, however, fail to hit their average in their final two games of the season. Michigan was 6-2 after Week 8 and in control of its playoff destiny. A win over Birmingham would have given the Panthers a home playoff game, but they lost to the Stallions. Last week, the final regular season game was meaningless and the Panthers lost 19-12 to Houston.

There is no doubt the Panthers are one of the top teams in the UFL. The defense played well this season and QB Bryce Perkins is one of the league’s best. The issue for the Panthers is whether or not they can get past Birmingham in the USFL championship game. Michigan has played the Stallions five times over the past two seasons. They are 0-5 SU against Birmingham.

St. Louis Battlehawks

As mentioned the Battlehawks won the XFL Division last year and repeated as champion this season. St. Louis entered the final week of the regular season on a five-game win streak and a UFL-best seven wins. Since Anthony Becht took over as the franchise’s head coach in 2023, the Battlehawks are 21-8.

St. Louis has the best running game in the league, averaging 144.2 yards per game. The Battlehawks have the league’s leading rusher, Jacob Saylors, who has rushed for 499 yards and five touchdowns. QB Max Duggan is also among the league’s top 10 rushers.

The offense averages the second-most points per game (24.2) in the UFL. The defense is the league’s best, allowing 17.2 points per game. After losing in the playoffs last year, you can bet Becht will have his team ready to go on June 8.

UFL Championship Predictions

Our pick at the beginning of the season was the Birmingham Stallions +200. Despite the early loss, the Stallions continue to have all the ingredients to win another UFL title. The culture is there. Birmingham has won three straight league championships. Not much changed as the Stallions started the season 3-1. The team at ScoresandStats still liked the Stallions as the betting favorite to win it all.

Birmingham’s offense wasn’t the best this season, but lately they’ve figured out their quarterback situation with J’Mar Smith. Since a Week 5 upset loss to Memphis, Birmingham is 4-1. The Stallions scored 26 or more points in all five games and averaged 31.8 per game. The only loss was a one-point loss to St. Louis, regular season champions of the XFL Division.

You can bet the Stallions will want to exact revenge should they meet the Battlehawks in the UFL Championship game. That game will be played at the Battlehawks home stadium and the Stallions will likely be the underdog. That’s exactly where they want to be. Back the dog for the 2025 UFL Championship

Bet:  Birmingham Stallions (+375)

2024 UFL Championship Game

Birmingham won the USFL championship in 2022 and 2023 and they rode that success to a 9-1 finish in the inaugural UFL season in 2024. The Stallions got the home playoff game in Round 1 and hosted second-place Michigan in the first round of the postseason. Birmingham won easily 31-18, the Stallions third win over the Panthers in 2024.

The Stallions would earn a rematch with the only team that gave Birmingham a regular season loss – San Antonio. The Brahmas won the XFL Division by upsetting St. Louis on its home turf in its semifinal game, but any thoughts of a UFL title were quickly dashed. Birmingham rushed for 210 yards and grabbed an 8-0 lead when they scored just before the end of the first half.

Then, the Stallions scored on their first two possessions of the third quarter to go ahead 22-0 and the game was essentially over. They would tack on a field goal to set the final 25-0 and record the UFL’s first and only shutout of the 2024 season.
