The 2025 UFL season is fast approaching, and we’re taking a closer look at who landed on which rosters this season.
Each team carries a 75-man roster into training camp before the regular-season rosters are trimmed to 50 players (45 active on game day).
The reigning champion Stallions are headlined by quarterbacks Matt Corral, Alex McGough and J’Mar Smith.

Corral appeared in four games (three starts) for the Stallions last season, passing for 494 yards and two touchdowns.
After leading the Stallions to back-to-back USFL championships in 2022 and 2023 and being named the 2023 USFL MVP, McGough is back with Birmingham after a short stint in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers.
Smith was the Stallions’ starter for the 2023 USFL season, which was cut short after an injury to his left (non-throwing) ring finger landed him on injured reserve for the remainder of that season.
Other notable names include running back C.J. Marable and linebacker DeMarquis Gates.
The Stallions’ full and most up-to-date 2025 roster can be found here.
Quarterbacks Danny Etling and E.J. Perry return for Michigan in 2025 after splitting time as the team’s starters in 2024. Etling threw for 786 yards, five total touchdowns (three passing, two rushing) and two interceptions to go with 143 rushing yards last season.
Star running back Matthew Colburn is also back for the Panthers. He rushed for a team-high 401 yards on 4.5 yards per carry with his 50.1 rushing yards per game ranking third in the league in 2024. Wide receiver Marcus Simms will look to follow up his productive 2024 season (23 receptions for 426 yards and three scores) with another strong year.
Defensively, Michigan has two of the top defensive players from the 2024 season on its roster. Defensive end Breeland Speaks led the UFL with 9.5 sacks last season, while free safety Kai Nacua was tied for the league lead in interceptions with three.

After finishing with the league’s second-worst record in 2024, the Showboats are looking to turn things around in 2025. They hold the rights to former Kansas quarterback Jason Bean, who they selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the latest draft. Quarterback Quinten Dormady is also back after starting six games for the Showboats last season.
The Showboats also hold the rights to running back Blake Watson, who they selected in the second round of the draft before he recorded some playing time with the NFL’s Denver Broncos in 2024. Their leading rusher from last season, Darius Victor, isn’t on the roster, but they return two wide receivers who finished in the top 10 in receiving yards last season: Jonathan Adams and Daewood Davis.

Houston finished with the league’s worst record in 2024, causing it to make some changes over the offseason. It signed former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Anthony Brown, as he’ll make his UFL debut this season. It also took former Charlotte and Michigan defensive end Eyabi Okie-Anoma with the second overall pick in the draft.
The Roughnecks, hoping to add some pop out of their backfield, also added former Brahmas running back Morgan Ellison. He rushed for 206 yards on 6.6 yards per attempt last season, joining a backfield that had a pair of 200-plus-yard rushers in T.J. Pledger IV and Mark Thompson. Wide receiver Justin Hall is back after finishing tied for first in receptions (56) and third in receiving yards (603) to go with three receiving touchdowns.
Defensively, safety Markel Roby is also back with the team after recording three interceptions last season, which was tied for the most in the league.
The Roughnecks’ full and most up-to-date 2025 roster can be found here.
Safety Lukas Denis is returing for St. Louis this season after a short stint with the Atlanta Falcons last season. In 2023, Denis had a pair of interceptions to go with 37 tackles in 10 games with the Battlehawks in the XFL.
Battlehawks head coach Anthony Becht has also been raving about their top-tier free agent signings of wideouts Andy Isabella and Denzel Mims and linebacker Kemoko Turay.
The Battlehawks’ full and most up-to-date 2025 roster can be found here.
Kicker Donald “Deestroying” De La Haye is back with San Antonio Brahmas for the 2025 season. He won the kicking job for the Brahmas during the 2024 season and played two games before suffering a season-ending injury in the second week of the 2024 season. De La Haye averaged 68.3 yards on eight kickoffs for San Antonio.
Quarterback Jarrett Guarantano joined the Brahmas after appearing in four games for the Roughnecks last season.
The Brahmas’ full and most up-to-date 2025 roster can be found here.
Quarterback Jordan Ta’amu, a top candidate for UFL MVP in 2024, is back with the Defenders after a strong 2024 season highlighted by 1,846 passing yards and 15 passing touchdowns. Former Oklahoma State and Ole Miss signal-caller Spencer Sanders joins Ta’amu on the depth chart.
Receiver Chris Rowland, who led the Defenders in both kick return and punt return yards last season, and Malik Fisher, who led the team in sacks, return as well.
The Defenders’ full and most up-to-date 2025 roster can be found here.
Quarterback Luis Perez has re-signed with the Renegades for the upcoming season. Perez, the 2023 XFL legacy Championship MVP, finished the 2024 UFL campaign leading the league in passing, averaging 230 yards per game, with a total of 2309 yards for the season, surpassing all UFL quarterbacks by over 400 yards.
Arlington also agreed to terms with two-time Gagliardi Trophy Winner Luke Lehnen, a starter at quarterback who played every game the past four seasons for North Central College, completing 178 of 257 passes (69.3%) for 2,960 yards and 39 touchdowns while also running for 924 yards and a career-high 14 rushing touchdowns.

Hinko begleitet den FC Bayern seit Jahrzehnten.Liebe Meister-Träne,über welche Wange willst Du diesmal fließen? Natürlich über ein Bayern-Gesicht wirst Du sagen. Wirklich?Es ist erst zwei Jahre her, dass Dortmund am letzten Spieltag gegen Mainz nicht gewinnen konnte, dass in Köln in der 87. Minute Jamal Musiala, gerade eingewechselt, ein Millimeter kleines Loch erspähte und mit seiner ersten Ballberührung den Ball zum 2:1 ins Tor schnitt. Die elfte Meisterschaft hintereinander war perfekt. Nicht nur bei Musiala flossen Tränen.So spannend soll es diesmal nicht werden.

Stars push Avalanche to the brink with commanding Game 5 win: Takeaways
This entire era of Dallas hockey has been built on their depth, but that doesn’t mean the Stars aren’t loaded with, well, stars, too. But you wouldn’t know it based on the first four games of the series. Wyatt Johnston hadn’t scored yet. Neither had Mikko Rantanen. Or Matt Duchene. Or Mikael Granlund. Meanwhile Jamie Benn, Roope Hintz and Thomas Harley had just one goal each.AdvertisementAnd yet Dallas was still even in its first-round series with the high-octane Colorado Avalanche through four games.“You know what, I don’t think any of our big guys have delivered yet in this series,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said before Game 5 when asked about Rantanen (one assist) in particular. ”He’s not the only one on this list. But the beauty of this, it’s time now. This is money time. I actually like the fact […]
Inside Newcastle Q&A: Transfer policy, Guehi interest – and predicting the run-in

Chris Waugh will be back on Monday at 2pm BST (9am EST) for another session.Will Newcastle be active in the pre-Club World Cup transfer window in June?

Athletic Club’s Basque-only rule: What is it? When did it start? Who qualifies?
This is an updated version of this article, which was originally published in 2023.It is fair to say that Athletic Club facing Manchester United in the Europa League semi-finals is something of a miracle.Famously, the side from the city of Bilbao eliminated United, then managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, from the round of 16 of the same competition in 2012. Reaching the semi-finals this year is not their only achievement. They are on course for a Champions League spot in La Liga and ended a 40-year wait for major silverware last season by lifting the Copa del Rey, so they are not short of quality.AdvertisementBut this does not tell the full story. Athletic have achieved all that while only being able to pick players from the Basque Country — a region of northern Spain and southern France with a population […]
Neuvěřitelné. Oba týmy vstřelily dva góly za jedenáct sekund, Florida v brutální koncovce
Florida po dvou výhrách v aréně Tampy Bay, doma v prvním domácím utkání za vyučenou (1:5). A s obhájcem prvenstvím dlouho ztrácela. Ve 29. minutě sice vstřelila úvodní gól střetnutí Antonem Lundellem (mimochodem přihrával nedávný spoluhráč Davida Pastrňáka z Bostonu Brad Marchand), ovšem její konkurent vývoj utkání otočil. Stalo se tak zásluhou dvou bleskových branek týmu s bleskem na hrudi v rozmezí neuvěřitelných jedenácti sekund krátce za zlomem zápasu do jeho druhé poloviny. Prosadili se Mitchell Chaffee a slovenský bek Erik Černák.Tato skutečnost s obhájcem Stanley Cupu poněkud zamávala. Navíc na začátku posledního dějství vyfasoval finský obránce Niko Mikkola 5+10 minut za naražení na hrazení. Domácí dlouhé oslabení přežili, což jim naopak vlilo krev do žil. V osmé minutě tohoto dějství jím vyrovnání zmařila trenérská výzva soupeře. Pak ale posadili Tampu na centrifugu a třemi góly za necelé dvě minuty úplně otočily kormidlo na cestu za třetí výhrou.V čase 56:13 se trefil obránce […]
Entenda como camisa vermelha da seleção foi escolhida e por que ela já nasceu sem ser unanimidade na CBF
O novo uniforme vermelho da seleção brasileira, que será lançado em março de 2026 para a Copa do Mundo pela Nike, não foi unanimidade na CBF, mas prevaleceu a estratégia da empresa americana. A cor nem foi tanto o problema, mas o fato de o novo uniforme substituir a camisa dois, azul, e não ser uma camisa 3, segundo o blog apurou. O presidente Ednaldo Rodrigues aderiu a estratégia da Nike. Quem defendia a camisa vermelha como terceiro uniforme argumentava que com as três em uso não haveria necessidade de polêmica, pois a seleção poderia escolher a que usar. O problema é que a Nike não faz camisa 3 para nenhuma seleção, sob o argumento de que as vendas são prejudicadas por uma espécie de canibalismo, onde o segundo uniforme concorre com o terceiro. Para evitar o prejuízo, muda-se o […]
