Hello and welcome to the Clubhouse. This is an updated megathread for the 2025 season.

In order to keep all of the important information consolidated and easy to reference, I've decided to put everything in this thread and leave it stickied for everyone's convenience.

##WHO ARE THE ARLINGTON RENEGADES?

You can reference the wikipedia article here for a history of the Arlington Renegades:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlington_Renegades

TLDR: The Arlington Renegades were established in 2020 as part of the revived XFL, and were originally named the Dallas Renegades. The team rebranded to the Arlington Renegades and participated in the 2023 XFL season, beating the Houston Roughnecks in the XFL South Division Championship, and going on to win the 2023 XFL Championship against the DC Defenders. The team was then carried over into the new United Football League (UFL) for the 2024 season as one of 4 teams in the XFL Conference following a merger with the USFL. The league has confirmed the team will be part of the 2025 UFL season.

##GAME SCHEDULE

The league has confirmed the kickoff date of March 28, 2025, and the date of the UFL Championship game will be on June 14, 2025. The home and away opponents were officially announced here for the Arlington Renegades. The league has advised they expect the full season schedule to be released in the "coming weeks", which would imply late October/early November until further notice.

Below are the confirmed home and away opponents (bolded italicized teams denote in-conference matchups):

HOME

• DC Defenders
• Houston Roughnecks
• Michigan Panthers
• San Antonio Brahmas
• St. Louis Battlehawks

AWAY

• Birmingham Stallions
• DC Defenders
• Memphis Showboats
• San Antonio Brahmas
• St. Louis Battlehawks

All Renegades home games will continue to be played at Choctaw Stadium.

It has also been confirmed by the league that there will 10 Friday night games during the season, so we do expect the Renegades to play in at least one of these primetime slots.

##HOW TO WATCH/LISTEN (USA)

All games are expected to be broadcast on Fox, ABC, ESPN, and FS1.

For streaming options, you can use the ESPN+ app for the ABC and ESPN games, and the Fox Sports app for the Fox games (Fox Sports app requires a subscription to either Direct TV, Fubo TV, Sling TV, Dish, or Hulu Sports).

There is a workaround for the Fox Sports app. The Fox Sports' website allows a 1-hour preview of their live sports. The method below is how you can watch any Fox games on the app for free using the free preview option.

After your one hour preview is up:

• Copy the link

• Close ALL browser windows

• Open an incognito/private window

• Paste the link

= Endless 1 hour previews. Just keep repeating the process.

All of the ABC and ESPN games will be on ESPN Xtra on SiriusXM. All of the Fox games will be available on Fox Sports on SiriusXM.

##HOW TO WATCH (INTERNATIONAL)

If you're outside the US, best legal option is USTVNow.com.

It's a LEGAL way to watch the games, the one-day pass is roughly 4 USD.

Why is it legal?

While the channel advertises to be for US Military abroad their terms and conditions DO NOT REFERENCE ANY OF THAT and basically EVERYONE can subscribe (both "legally" and "technically".

Canada has access to Fox and ABC over the air, but Canadians would have to use the above option to watch the ESPN, ESPN2, and FS1 games, unless the league works out a broadcast deal for Canada prior to the season kickoff.
