Plot Synopsis

The XFL is a professional football league with innovative rules, with the goal of advancing football and expanding player opportunities. The league build on what was started in 2020 by carrying over several rules and includes innovative changes in the areas of clock management, play reviews and late game possession designed to improve gameplay and enhance the fan viewing experience. (In August 2020, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his ex-wife/business partner Dany Garcia led a consortium to purchase the XFL for $15 million from Vince McMahon.)

The new XFL kicked off February 18, 2023. The inaugural season of the new XFL features eight teams split into two divisions: the North Division is home to the D.C. Defenders, Seattle Sea Dragons, St. Louis Battlehawks, and Vegas Vipers; while the Arlington Renegades, Houston Roughnecks, Orlando Guardians, and San Antonio Brahmas do battle in the South Division. The XFL plays a 10-week regular season, consisting of each team playing 10-games, five home and five road. The teams play their division rivals twice and teams from the other division once. The season concludes with the XFL Championship game played on Saturday, May 13, 2023 at 3pm ET/Noon PT on ABC. All 43 XFL games (40 regular season, two playoffs, one championship) are featured on a combination of ABC, ESPN and ESPN2, and FX. Plus, all games are streamed on ESPN+ and simulcasted in 142 countries around the world.
