The XFL’s 2020 re-launch was first reported by Brad Shepard, unfortunately, even Shepard couldn’t predict the coronavirus.

The XFL closed their doors to counter COVID-19. Many other sporting leagues closed their doors. WWE is still producing content, but they are on closed sets.

XFL released a statement to thank fans for their 2020 relaunch reason. They are disappointed, but promised that they will be back for 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the most recent local and state regulations, have left the XFL no choice but to officially cancel the remainder of the 2020 season. This decision has been made with the health and safety of the entire XFL family as our top priority.

We hope you will stay connected to our league and team social and digital channels for news, features, and updates along the way. 

From all of us at the XFL, be safe, stay healthy, and, again, thank you. Here’s to 2021!

We can only hope that when the XFL is ready to come back in the Spring of 2021 that everyone will be ready. This coronavirus pandemic is an awful situation, but we can get through this together.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
