The 2025 Houston Roughnecks season was the fourth season for the Houston Roughnecks as a professional American football franchise and the second season in the United Football League (UFL). The Roughnecks played their home games at the renovated and renamed Space City Financial Stadium and head coach Curtis Johnson will return, but general manager Lionel Vital retired at the end of the last season, so the team hired Will Lewis to be his replacement. The Roughnecks improved on their 1-9 record from last season with a 27âÂÂ3 win over the San Antonio Brahmas in Week 5.
The Roughnecks had an 1âÂÂ3 start, and went 4âÂÂ2 to finish the season, tying the Houston Gamblers from 2023 for the best record in team history.
The biggest lowlight of the season came in Week 7 against the Birmingham Stallions where they blew a 25âÂÂ6 lead, which is the biggest blown lead in UFL history. After a 30âÂÂ18 loss to the Michigan Panthers the following week, the Roughnecks were eliminated from playoff contention.
