The first week of the 2025 UFL season has come and gone, and there were some early surprises in the spring league's second season.
Namely, the DC Defenders upset the Birmingham Stallions just a week after DC's coach, Reggie Barlow, left the team to take the head coaching job at Tennessee State. Interim coach Shannon Harris' team put together a dominant defensive performance in the 18-11 win and positioned the Defenders as one of the eight-team league's top contenders.
The three preceding UFL games weren't as close. All were decided by margins of 14 points or more.
What will Week 2 of the UFL season bring? Teams are still looking to establish their identities while the Defenders and Memphis Showboats will continue to operate without Barlow and Ken Whisenhunt, who left their coaching positions on eve of the season.
Here's what to know about the UFL's Week 2 schedule and how to watch all four matchups.
