The XFL is due to kick off on February 18 next year, six days after the 2022 NFL season concludes in Glendale, Arizona, at Super Bowl LVII.

It will be broadcast domestically across the ABC, ESPN, and FX networks through a four-year rights deal with US media giant Disney, which is their parent company.

Last month (November), the league announced the names and logos of the eight teams that will take to the field in February.

The XFL has been working towards a relaunch since it was bought by a group including US investment firm Redbird Capital Partners, Johnson, and Dany Garcia in 2020. The $15-million deal included all the intellectual property such as team names and colors.

It was first relaunched by WWE majority owner Vince McMahon in February 2020 – 19 years after its first and only other season in 2001 – but was suspended five weeks into its 10-week season due to the coronavirus pandemic and filed for bankruptcy.
