2025 United Football League Betting Online
The first week of UFL betting is in the books, with the St. Louis BattleHawks, Arlington Renegades, Michigan Panthers, and DC Defenders all securing season-opening wins—resulting in shorter UFL Championship odds. On the flipside, the Houston Roughnecks, San Antonio Brahmas, Memphis Showboats, and defending champion Birmingham Stallions suffered Week 1 losses, causing their title odds to drift longer at the crypto sportsbook. As the season heads into Week 2, let’s take a deep dive into oddsmakers’ updated offerings.
UFL Week 2 Betting Lines
*Odds as of Wednesday, April 2, 1:00 PM ET
After incurring an 18-11 loss to DC in a game where they were never in position to cover the closing 7.5-point spread, Birmingham’s UFL title odds shifted from +200 to +275. While not a drastic move for the reigning USFL Division champions, it signals the Stallions have adjustments to make. A tough test awaits in Week 2 against the Michigan Panthers, a team Birmingham swept last season—including in the USFL title game.
The St. Louis BattleHawks delivered one of the most dominant performances of Week 1, steamrolling the Roughnecks in a 31-6 rout. Anthony Becht’s squad built an 18-0 halftime lead and didn’t allow Houston to score until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Easily covering the closing 5.5-point spread, St. Louis looked every bit the contender, yet their UFL title odds only moved from +350 to +300 with a tougher challenge ahead against San Antonio.
The Defenders showed no signs of struggle after Reggie Barlow’s sudden departure, delivering a strong performance in front of a raucous Audi Field. With the “Beer Snake” in full effect, DC kicked off its 2025 campaign with an 18-11 upset over the defending champion Stallions as 7.5-point home underdogs. The statement win saw their UFL title odds shorten from +600 to +450, with the potential for further movement depending on the outcome of this week’s home matchup against Memphis.
Last season, the Brahmas stunned UFL bettors with a home upset of DC, setting the stage for a near-championship run. This time, Wade Phillips’ squad fell flat in Arlington, getting routed 33-9 in a game they closed as slight favorites to win. San Antonio’s offense was nonexistent, while the defense struggled to contain the Renegades’ relentless ground attack. As a result, their UFL title odds ballooned from 6-1 to 17-1 creating a ton of value for anyone looking to buy low on the defending XFL Division champs.
The Michigan Panthers were the most heavily bet team of Week 1, opening as 3.5-point road favorites against the Showboats before closing at -7.5. While a late pick-six sealed the deal, Michigan controlled the number for most of the game. With a divisional road win and cover secured, the Panthers saw their UFL championship odds shorten from +650 to +450 as they return home for a huge grudge match with the Birmingham Stallions.
Fully aware that last season’s slow start cost them a playoff spot, Bob Stoops’ Renegades wasted no time making a statement in their season opener. Arlington dominated division rival San Antonio from start to finish, rolling to a 33-9 victory and ensuring the Brahmas had no chance of extending their winning streak in the series to three. Arguably the most impressive performance of Week 1, the Renegades’ commanding win led to their UFL championship odds being slashed from 11/1 to +450.
If not for a 2-0 turnover deficit, the crypto sportsbook likely would have been pleased with the Michigan-Memphis outcome, as the Showboats were competitive in the box score. The defense showed noticeable improvement from last season, and the offense displayed better balance. Despite staying in the game throughout, a costly pick-six in the final minute sealed their fate, handing Memphis a tough loss and their few supporters the inability to score the backdoor cover. While the final result didn’t reflect their overall effort, the Showboats' UFL title odds still took a hit, doubling from 15/1 to 30/1.
Of all eight teams in Week 1 UFL action, the Houston Roughnecks looked the least competitive. Their matchup against St. Louis felt like a varsity team dominating a junior varsity squad, and the 31-6 final score reflected that. The offense struggled mightily, failing to eclipse 200 total yards, while the defense was overmatched both on the ground and through the air. Surprisingly, late money came in on the Roughnecks as home underdogs before kickoff, but it proved misguided. Now sitting at 35/1, Houston holds the longest UFL title odds heading into Week 2—and deservedly so.
All weekly UFL betting and futures odds will be available for wagering at the crypto sportsbook throughout the 2025 season.

The United Football League (UFL) is a professional spring football league born of a merger between the United States Football League (USFL) and the XFL.
In 2025, the UFL will be comprised of eight teams and two divisions. All UFL regular season games will be played in the home fields of the teams involved. Unlike the old USFL format, there will be no neutral site games. The league was created as a "merger of equals," with the respective leagues' owners assuming 50% ownership of the newly formed UFL.
The regular season kicks off on Friday, March 28, 2025, with the championship game on Saturday, June 14, 2025.
In the United States, the television rights for the UFL are held by Fox and ESPN, which previously held the rights to the USFL and XFL, respectively.
The league is divided into two conferences, the USFL Conference and the XFL Conference, each a continuation of its respective league. Each team will play a ten-game schedule with no bye weeks, playing two games against each conference rival (one home and one away) and one game against each team in the other conference, like the XFL, all eight teams playing in their home markets.
The UFL has reworked the playoff system so that the winners of each conference will host the league semifinals as before. In contrast, the two remaining playoff seeds will be wild-card bids going to the best remaining overall records, regardless of conference.
