The XFL — the third iteration of it, thanks in part to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — is back in 2023.
You’ve seen the teams’ locations, the coaching staffs, the uniforms and the players who also were in the NFL.
Now? The schedule has dropped and we’re a month away from the XFL coming back. Again.
While we won’t break down a team-by-team schedule — you can check that out for your local squads if you like! — we can give you a summary of what you need to know about it, so here’s the important information for you to mark down in your calendar for some post-Super Bowl football:
- There will 40 regular-season games played.
- There will be two playoff games, followed by a championship contest.
- The games will be shown on ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, FX and ESPN+
- It’ll be 10 weeks of regular-season games.
- The season kicks off on Feb. 18 and ends on April 23.
There you have it:
