2023 XFL Season Teams, Schedule and TV Coverage

Though the NFL season is over, football fans won't have to wait long for more gridiron action to get underway. The XFL is officially back in 2023 after a hiatus, and the new-look league kicks off right after the Super Bowl.

Many are curious about the XFL as it returns to TV. Here's everything you need to know about the XFL's upcoming 2023 season.

2023 XFL Teams

This reboot of the XFL will feature a roster of eight teams during the 2023 campaign. They are: the Arlington Renegades, Houston Roughnecks, Orlando Guardians, San Antonio Brahmas, D.C. Defenders, Seattle Sea Dragons, St. Louis BattleHawks and Vegas Vipers.

Each team was scheduled to have 50-man rosters, but the league decided to up that number to 51. This will allow each squad to dress three quarterbacks on game days, instead of the usual two that is used in the NFL.
