The XFL is making a comeback for a third time!
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has announced that the football league will make its return in the spring of 2022.
Back in August, Johnson, along with Dany Garcia and RedBird Capital, bought the XFL for $15 million after it previously failed. They split the cost of the purchase.
Garcia and Johnson expressed their excitement for leading the XFL and emphasized their commitment to players, coaches, cities, and fans for the upcoming 2022 season. They described the XFL as a league that embodies opportunity, soul, and culture.

As owners, we’re proud to champion our XFL players, coaches, cities and fans into an electrifying 2022 season!
It’s an uphill battle – but we’re hungry, humble and no one will outwork us.
