Global Expansion of UFL Signed Through Partnership with DAZN
Swagger on, American football fanatics! The United Football League (UFL) is about to light up screens worldwide with their 2025 season, thanks to a smokin' new partnership with sports streaming giant DAZN.
The UFL, born from a steamy romance between the XFL and the United States Football League, launched its second season on March 28, 2025. In the U.S., the sports drama unfolds across screens shared by Fox Sports and ABC/ESPN. With DAZN joining the party, the UFL's action will unleash on Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, China, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Canada, in addition to its home turf in the U.S.
The 2025 season got thrown into the ring last weekend, featuring a fierce match-up between the St. Louis Battlehawks and the Houston Roughnecks. If ratings are any indication, the crowd is gonna be going wild, with a whopping 690,000 viewers tuning in! The season will bring the heat for ten weeks of regular games, followed by two weeks of the postseason, culminating in the 2025 UFL Championship Game on June 14.
The league is divided into two conferences, with the USFL Conference boasting the Birmingham Stallions, Houston Roughnecks, Memphis Showboats, and Michigan Panthers. The fearsome XFL Conference takes no prisoners, with the Arlington Renegades, DC Defenders, San Antonio Brahmas, and St. Louis Battlehawks proving they're here to dominate the gridiron!
With DAZN, the UFL will be available in over 200 markets on a variety of internet-enabled devices and distribution channels. DAZN's badass streaming platform can stream live and on-demand content at mass quantities and localize content in key markets – great news for fans who call these markets home!
