The 2025 Major League Rugby season was the eighth season of Major League Rugby, the professional rugby union competition sanctioned by USA Rugby. The regular season began on February 15, 2025, and ended on June 28, 2025. Following the shutdown of the Dallas Jackals in September 2024, Major League Rugby featured 11 teams competing in the 2025 season. [1]

Contents

The season marked the first of a multiyear media agreement between Major League Rugby and ESPN, with all games streaming on ESPN+ and select games aired nationwide. [2]

For the first time, the MLR Championship Final would be played in Rhode Island at Centreville Bank Stadium.

The New England Free Jacks would go on to capture their third-straight MLR Championship title in beating the Houston SaberCats, 28-22. The club became the first three-time champions in Major League Rugby history, [3] and the first U.S. professional sports team to win three consecutive championships since the Los Angeles Lakers from 2000 to 2002. [4] [5]

Teams and format

The Dallas Jackals ceased to exist after the 2024 season, leaving 11 teams in the 2025 season. [1]
