XFL Football: 2023 Season Schedule

Once the NFL season concludes, football fans have another option to fill that void with the reimagined XFL set to kick off its 2023 season in mid-April. The latest iteration of the XFL is a "fan-first, fast-paced global professional football league with innovative rules and enhanced 360 game experience," according to the league.

All 43 games, including the playoffs, this season will be broadcast on TV and available via streaming with ESPN serving as the official broadcast partner of the XFL. ESPN and ESPN2 will air the most games (22), along with FX (15), and ABC (7). Additionally, every game will be streamed on ESPN+ in the U.S. and simulcasted in 142 countries.

The eight XFL teams are split into two divisions: XFL North (D.C. Defenders, Seattle Sea Dragons, St. Louis Battlehawks, Vegas Vipers) and XFL South (Arlington Renegades, Houston Roughnecks, Orlando Guardians, San Antonio Brahmas).

The regular season will begin on Feb. 18 and run for 10 weeks. The playoffs (semifinals) will take place April 29-30 with the XFL Championship Game set for May 13 and will be broadcast on ABC.
