Who’s up for some playoff football action?
The regular season began on February 18, 2023. A player combine was held on June 18, 2022, the 2023 XFL Draft was held from November 15–17, and training camps opened on January 8, 2023.
The XFL’s relaunch season is rapidly coming to a close, and a winner will be declared, three years after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the league to suspend its initial restart.
The top two teams from each division will advance to the postseason, which will consist of a four-team playoff.

The Defenders entered the playoffs with the best record in the XFL, while the Roughnecks won the South division and will enjoy home-field advantage in the semifinals.
