When the playoffs started today, the Battlehawks would miss it and watch from home.

“We have a big game against a divisional opponent next week,” said Becht. “And I just ask everyone to bring a friend.”

The competition refers to the opening game of the 6th week, with the Battlehawks organized Arlington Renegades In an all-important XFL conference on Friday evening (8 p.m. ET on Fox and the Fox Sports app). It is a crucial matchup in which both teams sit 3-2 in the season and fight for the second playoff place in the division.

The Renegades won the previous head-to-head matchup at the beginning of this year, a 30-15 victory in Arlington in week 4.

Elsewhere the Memphis show boat (1-4) travel to face it Houston Rougnecks (2-3) on Saturday (lunch et).

Complete the week Michigan Panthers (3-2) Host the DC defender (4-1) on Sunday (Noon et) at Ford Field, followed by the San Antonio Brahmas (1-4) trips to Birmingham Henungungen (3-2) in the protection stage (4 PM ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app).

Here is a closer look at five things you should watch in week 6:

1. Renegades CB Ajene Harris leads the league in interceptions

One of the main reasons for the continuing success of Arlington this season is Harris' sharp game.

The USC product and the born in Los Angeles received the honor of the UFL Defensive Player of the Week in the second week in a row and ended with two picks and six combined duels with a defeat against the defenders last week.

In five weeks, Harris leads the league in interceptions (three), passport separations (11) and forced fiddling (two).

“He has big games all the time,” said head coach Bob Stoops about Harris. “And he plays several positions … So he understands all positions. He is really a bright player, in addition to an experienced player.”

2. RB Wes Hills Return with show boats to UFL

Memphis, one of the top runners in spring football, brought Hills back to support the depth of the team.

In 2024, Williams ended 277 Rushing Yards and five touchdowns in eight games for the Panthers. In the previous year, Hills led the Legacy -Sfl with 679 yards and 10 touchdowns, while he played for the current offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone as part of the now defined New Orleans Breakers organization.

The show boats also activated the recipient Dawood Davis from IR. Davis signed an all-UFL selection in 2024, which ended with 41 receptions for 446 reception sheets and five touchdowns, after the 2024 UFL season at the NFL Panthers of the NFL, but was published for injury.

The Renegades also conducted a trade this week and sent Linebacker Storey Jackson to the Brahmas for the defensive at the end of Ikenna Enechukwu.

3 .. to win the QB job in San Antonio

Kellen moon could keep a clipboard for the Brahmas if they travel to Birmingham this weekend.

An ineffective moon was replaced by Jarrett Garrettano in San Antonios house opening loss against the Rougnecks in the second half in week in week. However, Brahmas head coach Payton Pardee stated that the quarterback switch could be permanent because he leaned to name a starter for the game of this weekend.

“I believe in all three quarterbacks we have,” said Pordee. “I think they are all very talented. They have all unique skills, so I am very confident about the players we have in this room, but that will be something that we rate this week in practice.”

Mond completed 56.8% of its passports for 597 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in five starts. In his first campaign of the season last week, GARGENO ended 6 out of 15 for 29 yards.

4. Rougneck's Host show boats in reservations

Houston defeated Memphis in week 3 with a point 18-17 on the team's first victory of the team in the season in the Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. This week the show boats get a shot on revenge when they get to the roughnecks in Houston.

Memphis QB Dresser Winn, for the first time this season, received an offensive player of the week after week 5 and completed 17 of his 29 passes for 235 yards and a touchdown in a 24:20 win against Birmingham.

Winn has the opportunity to see whether he can play efficient football for a second week in a row against a defense in Houston in the past three weeks.

On the other hand, Houston QB Jalan McClendon continues to play solid football. Since he took over the team's starter, he has completed 70% of his passports for 407 yards, without touchdowns and two interceptions. McClendon also hurried for 34 yards and a score.

5. Panthers WR Samson Nacua A game for dealing with fan suspended

The UFL announced this week that it gave Nacua a one-game suspension without payment after a video was shown how he exceeded a Battlehawks fan after the Panthers' Week 5 Road in St. Louis.

Nacua, who agreed to take part in the non -profit service, will miss the away game of this weekend against the defenders.

Nacua is the older brother of the Los Angeles Rams recipient Puka Nacua. His other brother, Kai Nacua, plays as security for Michigan in the UFL.
