St. Louis to Host Second United Football League Championship Game

The Dome at America’s Center, home of the St. Louis Battlehawks, will host the 2025 UFL Championship Game on June 14, the second year in a row that the venue will host the league title game.

St. Louis hosted the inaugural UFL Championship Game in 2024 when the Birmingham Stallions defeated the San Antonio Brahmas 25-0 in front of 27,396 fans to win their third consecutive championship. St. Louis led the UFL in attendance last year, averaging 34,365 spectators for its five home games.

“St. Louis is beyond thrilled to host this year’s UFL championship game,” said Ed Skapinok, Explore St. Louis chief commercial officer. “The energy and passion of our fans are second to none and this event is a tremendous opportunity to showcase our city on a national stage. The economic impact of hosting the game is significant — from hotel bookings and restaurant traffic to job creation and media exposure.”

UFL Owner Dany Garcia and UFL President and Chief Executive Officer Russ Brandon made the announcement at halftime of Sunday’s Battlehawks home game against the D.C. Defenders.

“We’re proud to bring the 2025 UFL Championship back to St. Louis — a city that continues to show an incredible passion for football,” said Garcia. “The energy in The Dome, the commitment of the Battlehawks organization, and the fierce loyalty of their fans made this an easy decision. St. Louis has built something special and it’s become a key part of what the UFL is all about. We’re excited to celebrate this moment with a community that’s helped shape the league’s future and capture its soul.”

The Dome at America’s Center opened in 1995 and was the home for the NFL’s St. Louis Rams from 1995 to 2015. The venue also hosted the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four, Big 12 Championship Game in 1996 and multiple big-name concerts and conventions.

“St. Louis represents both the heart of this country and the heart of the UFL,” said Brandon. “We are proud that we will once again be hosting our championship game in this football capital and the great state of Missouri that has been a strong supporter of America’s game for over a century.”
