With the 2025 United Football League season in the rearview, the Arlington Renegades are gearing up for another offseason with their sights on 2026.
The season concluded with the 2025 UFL Championship game against the San Antonio Brahmas on Saturday. The UFL announced selections for the 2025 All-UFL Team, an annual recognition of the league's top performers of the regular season, on June 2.
Arlington had three nominees: wide receiver Tyler Vaughns, tight end Sal Cannella and cornerback Ajene Harris. Harris was also nominated for the 2024 All-UFL Team.
Starting quarterback Luis Perez was another notable leader within the team. He was named the week 10 Pizza Hut Offensive Player of the Week and had the third highest passing percentage in the 2025 regular season with a 71.6% completion rate. Perez also led the league in passing yards for the second consecutive year, throwing just shy of 2,300 yards.
Perez said that the Renegades who were chosen for the All-UFL Team have the physical attributes and it will be good to have them back for a third year.
“They're phenomenal players, students of the game that really put preparation in [and] take it to heart,” he said. “They’re students of the game and that's what really takes people to the next level.”
To cap the season, the Renegades posted a 5-5 record that ended on a two-game win streak. Their final game concluded with a dominant 23-6 road win against the San Antonio Brahmas.
Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said that the team had a system in place for game plans. The team tweaked it throughout the season as they adjusted and picked up plays that matched their style, he said.
“But I thought the last two years [that] I was really pleased with how our offense performed,” he said.
The Renegades will open their offseason by hosting a youth football camp at Choctaw Stadium on Tuesday.
The camps are a league-wide initiative that invites kids ranging from fifth graders to high school seniors. The camps are focused on “core football fundamentals” to give young athletes skills to elevate their game.
The UFL offseason lasts roughly nine months. While the official start date for the 2026 season has not been confirmed, fans can prepurchase regular and season tickets to Renegades games.
While changes to the team for the upcoming season have yet to be confirmed, Perez said he will continue to put in work during the offseason, hopeful for an NFL opportunity but ready to return and play for the Renegades.
Long said he expects the team’s playbook to remain consistent with last season. For the coaching staff, Renegades’ future is not set in stone, as the team has undergone several changes in the previous year.
“It’s an ever-changing staff, always ever-changing at any level, anytime,” Long said. “Who knows what’s going to happen for next year, but I think we are all excited for next year as well.”
