The Rock's XFL, ESPN Announce Broadcast Agreement for 2023 Schedule

The XFL is getting ready for its upcoming relaunch and has found a new broadcast home.

The pro football league, featuring an ownership group led by The Rock and others, has reached a multi-year agreement with the Disney Company.

The return of the XFL is scheduled for February 18, 2023. The schedule will feature regular-season games and playoffs.

At the Disney Upfront presentation in New York on Tuesday, the broadcast deal was announced.

This is the beginning of an incredible, long-term partnership for the XFL, which will be built on my longstanding, very successful legacy relationship I have had with Disney throughout my career.

Vince McMahon was the owner of the XFL for its comeback season in 2020. The season ended in just five weeks and was stopped due to the COVID-19 epidemic. The XFL was purchased by Johnson and his ownership group for fifteen million dollars.

The XFL games will be broadcast on ABC, Disney's networks and the cable channel, FX.

The combined power of Disney and the XFL will create a new powerhouse on the sports calendar and bring a dynamic game of football to fans everywhere.
