XFL 2020 TV Schedule on ESPN/ABC & Fox Sports
So it really looks like this XFL thing is going to happen.
ESPN and Fox Sports announced their broadcast schedule for the rebooted pro football league, which kicks off Saturday, February 8, 2020, the weekend after Super Bowl LIV.
ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, Fox, FS1 and FS2 will combine to televise every game of the eight-team league’s 10-week regular season. Playoffs will air April 18-19 on Fox and ESPN, and the championship game will air April 26 on ESPN.
The XFL teams and divisions are:
XFL East
DC Defenders
New York Guardians
St. Louis BattleHawks
Tampa Bay Vipers
XFL West
Dallas Renegades
Houston Roughnecks
Los Angeles Wildcats
Seattle Dragons
Historically, spring pro football leagues have not enjoyed much success. The original XFL played one season in 2001. Earlier this year, the Alliance of American Football folded before it could finish its inaugural season.
