United Football League Kicks Off Second Season with Expanded Broadcast Options
The United Football League (UFL) is set to launch its second season on March 28, 2025, offering fans multiple ways to catch the action until the season finale on June 1, 2025. Formed in 2024 through the merger of the XFL and USFL, the UFL features eight teams competing for the championship title, with the Birmingham Stallions defending their inaugural season victory.
Viewers across the United States will have access to all 40 games of the season through major broadcast networks including ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, Fox, and FS1. For cord-cutters, streaming options abound with services like ESPN Plus, Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo offering various packages to suit different preferences and budgets.
Sling TV emerges as the most cost-effective option for comprehensive coverage with its Orange + Blue combo plan. Meanwhile, DirecTV Stream and Fubo provide extensive channel lineups and free trial periods for new subscribers. ESPN Plus stands out as the most affordable choice, though it only covers games broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2.
For international fans or those traveling abroad, virtual private networks (VPNs) offer a solution to access US-based streaming services. ExpressVPN is highlighted for its user-friendly interface and robust security features. However, viewers are advised to check local regulations regarding VPN usage, as restrictions may apply in certain regions.
As the UFL continues to establish itself in the professional football landscape, the league’s expanded broadcast and streaming options reflect its commitment to accessibility for fans across various platforms.
