XFL 101 and the St. Louis BattleHawks
No one can tell us St. Louis isn’t a sports city! Besides the obvious St. Louis sports milestone of the Blues winning the Stanley Cup in 2019, St. Louis was also chosen to become home to an XFL team during its inaugural 2020 season. The XFL is a brand new, fan-first league that’s reimagining the game of football and offering fans an opportunity to experience more action, access and fun. We’re thrilled to call the St. Louis BattleHawks our home team and cheer them on at their home opener this Sunday, February 23 at 2:00 p.m. at the Dome at America’s Center.

The BattleHawks are one of eight teams in the league, which is divided into two four-team divisions: East and West.
The XFL held its first-ever game just a few weeks ago on February 8, 2020. Now, approaching week three of the 10-week regular season, your St. Louis BattleHawks are holding their own at a close second place in the East division.

The XFL’s season lasts just 79 days and will be a “non-stop sprint from the first kick to the last down.” Along the way, fans will experience a league built on three core principles:
- Fan-First: the XFL loves their fans and listens to what they want to see and experience.
- Ultra-Accessible: the XFL is family-friendly and offers affordable ticket prices. They get fans close to the game in fun and imaginative ways.
- True to the Game: the XFL is faithful to the foundations of football but is always looking for ways to improve.
This league was founded for one simple reason: for the love of football. This is why the coaches coach, the players play, and why they invite new fans and football fanatics alike to be part of it all.
