The United Football League (UFL) is gearing up for its first-ever championship game this Sunday, June 16th, 2024, and online sportsbooks are ready to take part in it.
The UFL has previously announced that the first-ever championship game will be held at the Dome at America’s Center. UFL President and CEO Russ Brandon stated, “Selecting the championship game location is more than just the stadium, but the community and the fanbase that surrounds it. This is why we are proud to bring our Championship to St. Louis – a city that has loved and embraced spring football from the start,”
The UFL has had great success, with total attendance reaching 171k in St. Louis over the 2024 season. The next closest team, according to attendance, was D.C., which saw 70k fans walk through the gate this season. While some teams struggled with fan attendance, the league saw mediocre success with TV ratings.
Now that the teams have been announced, several online sportsbooks carry the odds for the matchups. Below, we will discuss the game and what we have discovered to be the best ways to bet on the UFL this season.
San Antonio Brahmas vs. Birmingham Stallions

The Stallions have been favorites to win the championship after starting the season 8-0. In week 9, the Stallions lost to the Brahmas 18-9, adding further intrigue to the championship game.
The Brahmas were trailing the Battlehawks for most of the season in the XFL division but managed to knock them out of the playoffs with a 25-15 upset. Both the Brahmas and the Battlehawks finished the year 7-3. However, the Brahmas were the only team to beat the Stallions this year, which ended 9-1 atop the USFL division.
