Welcome to Episode #46 of the UFL Week In Review podcast, your definitive source for United Football League news, analysis, and insider information! In this jam-packed episode, we break down all the major developments from Week 5 of the 2025 UFL season.

Our headline story this week focuses on the groundbreaking Collective Bargaining Agreement finalized between UFL players and league management. We analyze the key provisions of this historic deal, what it means for player compensation, benefits, and the long-term stability of the league. This agreement represents a major milestone for the UFL as it continues to establish itself as a legitimate professional football alternative.

We also dive into the surprising roster moves from the St. Louis Battlehawks, who have re-signed quarterback Brandon Silvers while placing Manny Wilkins on injured reserve. Our analysis explores what this means for the Battlehawks’ playoff chances and how it might shift the balance of power in the conference.

The Week 4 television ratings are in, and we’ve got the complete breakdown of viewership numbers from both FOX and ABC broadcasts. Learn which games drew the biggest audiences and what these figures tell us about the league’s growing popularity and media strategy.

Attendance figures from the holiday weekend games show some concerning trends that we analyze in depth. Is this just a temporary holiday slump or something the league should be worried about long-term?

Our exclusive “Behind the Scenes” segment takes you inside the UFL Gameday Defenders operations, giving you insider access you won’t find anywhere else.

Plus, we cover all the latest news including Championship Game ticket sales, the newly announced corporate partnerships, Players of the Week, and updated betting odds and fantasy recommendations.
