The 2025 Birmingham Stallions season was the fourth season for the Birmingham Stallions as a professional American football franchise and the second season in the United Football League (UFL).

The Stallions finished the regular season with a 7–3 record, which is the worst in team history. One of their top highlights was coming back from a 25–6 deficit against the Houston Roughnecks in Week 7, which is the greatest comeback in UFL history. The Stallions went through several quarterbacks throughout the 2025 season, after Alex McGough, Matt Corral and Andrew Peasley all went down with injuries. The team brought back former starter J'Mar Smith, signed spring football veteran Case Cookus and called up Jalen Morton from the Southwest Kansas Storm. [2] Cookus and Smith handled starting duties for most of the season until Corral returned partway through the USFL Conference Championship Game. [3]

For the second consecutive year, the Stallions hosted the Michigan Panthers in the USFL Conference Championship Game, which resulted in their first ever loss against the Panthers and in a playoff game 44–29.
