In the first of three FOX UFL games this past weekend, Week 4’s Michigan Panthers-Memphis Showboats game on Friday night averaged 679,000 viewers. The game peaked at 746,000 viewers. The 4/18 FOX telecast is the fourth of ten straight weeks of UFL regular season games in primetime on Friday nights. The 4/11 FOX showing averaged 682,000 viewers.
The 4/4 UFL game on FOX between the Birmingham Stallions and Michigan Panthers, a rematch from last year’s USFL Championship game, averaged 659,000 viewers. The debut telecast of the UFL’s weekly games on Friday nights between the St. Louis Battlehawks and Houston Roughnecks on 3/28 averaged 690,000 viewers.
This past weekend’s UFL 2025 slate was the first to air all four league games on premium broadcast network television. Three aired on FOX, with an ABC game sandwiched in between on Saturday afternoon. Week 3’s UFL TV ratings average was 665K, up from Week 2’s 602 K. The UFL broadcast network average in week 3 was 789 K.
Ratings for Saturday and Sunday’s UFL games will be available on Tuesday. It will be interesting to see where the numbers land during Easter weekend, and in a competitive sports TV viewing landscape that includes NBA and NHL playoff games.

Amazing how there’s no real chg week to week.
There’s a good retention again from the opening audience of 764k to 679k – 89%.
The issue once again is the low leading number and/or inability to generate one by UFL.
