St. Louis Battlehawks to host six games in 2025

Conference Rival San Antonio Will Make Two Visits


ST. LOUIS, MO (August 20, 2024) – The United Football League today announced the St. Louis Battlehawks will host six regular season games in 2025, with the San Antonio Brahmas visiting The Dome at America’s Center twice.


 “As we planned for the 2025 season, our process from a league standpoint was to assess availabilities at our venues to create a schedule that works operationally across all eight markets,” UFL CEO/President Russ Brandon said. “After reviewing venue availabilities, we decided the best option would be to add a sixth home game to St. Louis in order to best fulfill our team schedules. We are grateful for the support our partners; the City of St. Louis and the Dome have given us.” 

The Battlehawks are 3-1 all-time against the Brahmas, with the only loss coming last season in the 2024 XFL Conference Championship game. All four games between the two teams have been decided by 10 points or less.


More information about the game and the full UFL schedule will be released at a later date, but all St. Louis Battlehawks season ticket members who renew their seats by an extended deadline of September 6, 2024, will have the first opportunity to keep their seats and purchase their tickets at a special price for the extra home game.

This is the third year San Antonio is playing in the Alamo Dome. How are they NOT able to secure a fifth home date for the season? This is not a good look.

Is this the only away "home" game for SA?  Or is there issues at the Alamo.  And does this mean the schedule is moving along  much quicker than prior years?

More from SI:

>>While the 2025 events calendar for the Alamodome has not been released, a contributing factor could be the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four that will take place in April next year there. The Dome has been undergoing renovations in preparation for the matchups on April 5 and 7 of 2025.

St. Louis was a gold mine for the UFL in attendance last season as the city averaged 35,104 fans per home game. The next closest was San Antonio, which averaged 14,983 fans per game.

There has been no word on whether the league will start the 2025 season the week after the Super Bowl like the XFL did or last weekend of March like this past season.  <<

Sounds like SA will get the other 4...
