UFL News Hub can confirm what James Larsen of PFNewsRoom has reported. The UFL Championship game for the 2025 season will take place in St Louis Saturday June 14th. UFL News Hub sources told us this plan a while ago, so much so, I already book my hotel weeks ago.
Back in October we told you that originally the hope was to have the big game at the leagues second best venue in Audio Field. That idea was nixed due to the FIFA Club World Cup. Next in line at the time was Protective Stadium, home of the UFL Champion Birmingham Stallions.
League officials are not to happy with that stadium and with a fan based that has won multiple championships yet can't fill the stadium. The United Football League looked towards other options.
One idea floated was to have the championship game at the location of one of its new expansion teams. That location was Lumen Field in Seattle. Home to the reportedly returning Seattle Sea Dragons, something we have been reporting.
The problem with Lumen Field is the same problem with Audi Field. The FIFA Club World Cup is also being played at Lumen Field around the same time as the UFL Championship game. This leaves the next best option on the table, The Dome At America’s Center.
Per UFL News Hub's Mike Mitchell, last years UFL Championship game, without the Battlehawks drew 27,396. The UFL would get no where near that number at Protective Stadium in Birmingham.
Currently Las Vegas Odds has the Battlehawks as the second best team in the UFL. With six homes games this season, due to the schedule issues in San Antonio. St Louis could add two more making it eight total. The team could host a home playoff game and also play in the UFL Championship game.
That is if the team is good this year. They moved on from QB AJ McCarron and lost OC Bruce Gradkowski who is now the offensive assistant for the Detroit Lions. Also, with all these home games, will St Louis burn out on the UFL.
