The XFL announced Sunday that one of the eight teams in its rebooted spring football league will be located in Las Vegas, while five other teams will be based in cities that were part of the previous iteration of the league in 2020.
Houston, Seattle, St. Louis, Washington, D.C., and Arlington, Texas, will all once again have teams after also being part of the most recent version of the XFL, which filed for bankruptcy amid the COVID-19 pandemic midway through its 2020 season.
They will be joined by three newcomers: Vegas, Orlando, Florida, and San Antonio.
The XFL has revealed the home venues for all of the teams, and which of its previously announced head coaches will be based in which cities. But it has not yet announced team names or logos.
Kickoff is set for Feb. 18, 2023 – the weekend after next year’s Super Bowl.
The rebooted XFL will be the latest spring football league to attempt to gain traction in the U.S., and it figures to be competing directly with the new-look USFL for second-tier talent next season.
Here’s the full list of host cities, head coaches and venues, as announced Sunday:
Arlington, Texas: Head coach Bob Stoops | Choctaw Stadium
Houston: Head coach Wade Phillips | TDECU Stadium
Orlando, Florida: Head coach Terrell Buckley | Camping World Stadium
Las Vegas: Head coach Rod Woodson | To be announced
San Antonio: Head coach Hines Ward | The Alamodome
Seattle: Head coach Jim Haslett | Lumen Field
St. Louis: Head coach Anthony Becht | The Dome
Washington: Head coach Reggie Barlow | Audi Field
