The second showing of [Friday Night UFL football](https://www.foxsports.com/ufl/schedule) on FOX didn't see an increase in viewership after a sluggish opener encountered heavy competition against NCAA's ultra-popular March Madness tournament.

This past Friday's 4/4 UFL game between the Birmingham Stallions and Michigan Panthers, a rematch from last year's USFL Championship game, averaged **659,000** viewers. The telecast aired at 8 pm Eastern and peaked at **751,000** viewers during the game's first 15 minutes.

Last week's [UFL](http://www.theufl.com) opening game on FOX between the St. Louis Battlehawks and Houston Roughnecks averaged **690,000** viewers, down considerably from last year's first window. 0.15 in the 18-49 desired demographic. The shift to Friday nights for the [UFL](https://uflnewshub.com/ufl) hasn't produced the same type of numbers FOX registered last season on weekends. This past Friday's UFL game was down nearly five percent from last week's debut.

Much like Week 2's UFL slate, Week 3 will feature only one FOX broadcast. The Birmingham Stallions are back on Friday night, hosting the [Arlington Renegades](https://uflnewshub.com/team/dallas-renegades) in primetime. In Week 4 of the 2025 UFL season, three of the league's four weekly games will be on FOX, including two in a prime-time window.
