Houston Will Have a Championship Football Team Until at Least 2023

When the XFL suddenly suspended, well, everything, in 2020 due to the financial impact of COVID-19, the last team standing was the Houston Roughnecks. If you’ve been waiting for the Houston Texans to deliver a championship, nearly 20 years later the startup league filled your order.

Since then, a lot of crazy things have happened with the up & coming, often infamous league. Owner/Founder Vince McMahon, sold it to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his investment partners for a cool $15 million.

The XFL represents the idea of ultimate opportunity; it’s a league of soul and culture, anchored by the pursuit of dreams and love for the game, that we couldn’t be more proud to lead.
