XFL, the professional football league that WWE founded in 1999 along with NBC, will be redefined when it begins in early 2020. It will offer an innovative, fan-focused experience that includes shorter and faster games and a family-friendly environment, complemented by multi-platform viewing options and real-time fan interaction.
Plans for the launch of the XFL include eight teams, active rosters of 40 men, and a 10-week regular season schedule, with a postseason consisting of two semifinal games and a championship game.
"The new XFL is an exciting opportunity to reimagine America's favorite sport," said Vince McMahon, CEO of WWE. "As we move towards kickoff, we look forward to hearing and implementing innovative ideas from players, coaches, medical experts, technology executives, media, and most importantly, football fans."
McMahon, a visionary and renowned business executive, is personally creating this venture through Alpha Entertainment, a new private platform. The father of Shane and Stephanie will continue to serve as president and CEO of WWE.
