The United Football League (UFL) has announced the locations of both conference championship games. St. Louis will host the XFL Championship, and Birmingham will host the USFL Championship on June 8th, 2025.
The four teams that have clinched the postseason include the Birmingham Stallions (USFL), Michigan Panthers (USFL), DC Defenders (XFL), and the St. Louis Battlehawks (XFL).
USFL Conference Championship
After eight weeks, the Michigan Panthers and the Birmingham Stallions have secured their positions at the top of the USFL.
The Stallions, who have a record of 5-3, have clinched since they have the head-to-head over the Roughnecks, who, with two wins, could end the season with the same record as the Stallions. The Panthers have been heavy favorites throughout the season and were even favored to win the UFL Championship after week 7. However, they can’t host the championship game due to scheduling conflicts.
UFL President and CEO Russ Brandon said, “When the 2025 UFL schedule was released earlier this year, we were aware of potential postseason conflicts with the venue in Detroit, Mich., but after careful consideration, we determined that playing the game in Birmingham was the best option for the league. We want to thank the loyal fans of the Panthers for their continued support of the team and apologize for their disappointment in not being able to see their team at home.”
XFL Championship
The Defenders and the Battlehawks have already clinched the playoffs in the XFL division. The Defenders are currently the division leader but will also be unable to host the championship game due to scheduling conflicts.
UFL President Brandon also addressed the conflict, saying St. Louis will host the championship game. He also apologized to the Defenders fans who wanted to see the game played on their home field.
Postseason UFL Odds
Betting on the UFL is available, and domestic and offshore football betting sites offer odds. Future odds often provide excellent value when locked in early, and they will also indicate the favorite to win the championship.
Both game lines and futures will be available for betting on championships. Once the two teams are determined, online football betting sites will offer props for the UFL Championship game.
