UNITED FOOTBALL LEAGUE ANNOUNCES 2025 ALL-UFL TEAM
The United Football League’s 2025 All-UFL Team has been revealed just days after the regular season drew to a close, and draws heavily on teams progressing to the playoffs.
The St. Louis Battlehawks and DC Defenders, who will meet in this weekend’s XFL Conference Championship game, led the way in selections, each earning a league-high seven. Only nine of the 29 available places were filled by teams whose season has now ended, with the San Antonio Brahamas, Arlington Renegades and Houston Roughnecks all getting at least one player onto the roster, leaving the Memphis Showboats as the only omission. Defenders WR Chris Rowland was selected at two positions, having been tabbed as the league’s best return man.
The All-UFL Team was selected by a panel of league and team executives, coaches and players from all eight teams and broadcast partners. Selections were based on player performances throughout the recently concluded 10-game regular season.
