How to watch the XFL: 2023 schedule, teams, players, news, more

The XFL is back, with the spring football league kicking off its season Saturday. The eight XFL teams will play 10 regular-season games on their schedule, and two rounds of playoffs will follow. Every game will air on ESPN, ESPN2, ABC or FX and be streamed on ESPN+.

The XFL had its draft in November, with Vic Beasley, Martavis Bryant, Kalen Ballage, Cody Latimer and PJ Hall among the notable players selected. It also assigned the quarterbacks for each team, and that list includes AJ McCarron, who led Alabama to two BCS titles in college.

The Vegas Vipers and Arlington Renegades will play in the first game of the season at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday at Choctaw Stadium in Arlington, Texas (ABC, ESPN+). You can stream every game featuring the Renegades, Vipers, D.C. Defenders, Houston Roughnecks, Orlando Guardians, San Antonio Brahmas, Seattle Sea Dragons and St. Louis Battlehawks on ESPN+. The 2023 XFL playoffs also will be televised on ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 and streamed on ESPN+.
