The 2025 DC Defenders season is the fourth season for the DC Defenders as a professional American football franchise and the second season in the United Football League (UFL). The Defenders play their home games at Audi Field and led by interim head coach Shannon Harris.
The Defenders had a 6-2 start, but lost the last two games to finish 6-4. However, even if they won those games, they wouldn't have hosted the XFL Conference Championship Game due to a scheduling conflict. The Defenders defeated the Battlehawks, 36-18, to advance to their first UFL Championship Game, where they faced the Michigan Panthers. The Defenders won in a 58-34 rout of the Panthers.
