Week 1 of the 2025 UFL season didn’t disappoint thanks to a slew of touchdowns for football fans to enjoy.
That said, we’ve rounded up every touchdown from the opening weekend!
St. Louis Battlehawks 31, Houston Roughnecks 6
St. Louis kicked off the 2025 UFL season with a bang.
Quarterback Manny Wilkins was a threat with both his arm and his legs, throwing for 189 yards and adding 43 yards and two scores on the ground. But Wilkins wasn’t alone in the rushing department. Jarveon Howard put on a show running the football, totaling 115 yards and a must-see 74-yard touchdown run late in the game that helped seal the victory for the Battlehawks. Jacob Saylors also had a big game on the ground for St. Louis, finishing with 98 yards and the game’s first score, a 4-yard burst in the first quarter, giving the Battlehawks their first lead of the game.

Arlington Renegades 33, San Antonio Brahmas 9
The Renegades put together a dominant rushing performance in a 33-9 win over the Brahmas in Week 1. Former Arizona State star Kalen Ballage led the way with 110 yards on the ground and a touchdown, while De’Veon Smith made the most of his touches, converting three rushes into three touchdowns, all 1-yard scores.
San Antonio’s touchdown came late in the game when John Lovett rushed up the middle for a 12-yard score, making it 33-9.
Michigan Panthers 26, Memphis Showboats 12
Michigan started and finished the game with conviction.
In-between forcing a pair of Memphis three-and-outs, Michigan got a field goal on its first possession and found the end zone on its second possession, as quarterback Bryce Perkins rushed for a 2-yard score on fourth down, with the Panthers later leading 10-3 at halftime.
On Michigan’s second possession of the second half, Perkins orchestrated a nine-play touchdown drive that ended with the signal-caller — who completed 84.2% of his passes (16-of-19) — and wide receiver Samson Nacua hooking up for a 25-yard score. And the Panthers put a bow on their Week 1 outing with safety Kai Nacua running back an 80-yard pick-six with 23 seconds remaining in the game.
DC Defenders 18, Birmingham Stallions 11
This was a defensive matchup that saw each team reach the end zone once, but, in the end, it was the Defenders knocking off the defending champions.
Stallions quarterback Alex McGough and running back C.J. Marable connected for a 12-yard touchdown on the second play of the second quarter. But then Jordan Ta’amu found wide receiver Chris Rowland for a 4-yard score in the closing moments of the first half, giving DC a 12-11 halftime lead. A pair of second-half field goals proved to be enough for the Defenders, who held the Stallions to just 138 total yards, to get the win.

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy: ‘I know I’m ready to start’
<!--> After letting Sam Darnold walk — despite leading them to a 14-3 season and throwing for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns — the Minnesota Vikings are all in on quarterback J.J. McCarthy.McCarthy didn't play in his rookie season due to a meniscus tear that he suffered in the preseason. But the young quarterback is up for the challenge of starting for a team with championship aspirations."I know I'm ready to start," McCarthy said on Tuesday, according to the Vikings' team website.

PSG coach Luis Enrique wary of Arsenal’s comeback ability: ‘This is a team who can completely rewrite history’
Getty Images LONDON -- Luis Enrique warned his Paris Saint-Germain side not to let their guard down "for a second" at the Parc des Princes or they risk finding themselves back at square one in their Champions League semifinal against Arsenal.Ousmane Dembele's fourth-minute strike was enough to hand PSG control of the tie at the Emirates Stadium, but they may yet come to rue the pair of late misses from Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos that cost them the chance to get out of sight in this tie. Certainly, after an impressive opening 20 minutes, it seemed that that was exactly what the French champions would do, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia devastating down the left flank and Vitinha bossing the midfield.Arsenal regrouped, however, and came close to equalizing on several occasions: Mikel Merino just offside when heading in, Gabriel Martinelli twice going […]
