- The XFL was stopped during the 2020 season due to COVID-19
- There are +175 odds that the XFL returns in 2022.
STAMFORD, Ct. - As the sports world has been back in full affect since COVID-19 has completely shut it down, there is one league that has yet to return and that is the XFL.
The XFL was in mid-season in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic first started and they followed in the footsteps of the other sports leagues and shut down their season on March 12, 2020. Since then, there have been plenty of speculations as to when they would return.
However, a lot has changed since they shut down as it is now under new ownership as the former CEO and President of the league, Vince McMahon has sold it to his former WWE employee, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson along with businesswomen, Dany Garcia.
With the XFL now being under new ownership, online sportsbooks have odds on if they will be making a return in 2022.
Will The XFL Play A Game In 2022?
- Yes +175
- No -240
The fact that XFL odds are favoring that the league does not play a game in 2022 is very surprising being that there have already been plenty of rumors that 2022 is their target to return. Not to mention, those rumors were then backed up by the owners themselves who made an announcement that they will be back by spring 2022.
XFL returns SPRING 2022 🏈
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.

“For the love of football and for the safety of our players and fans, we’ll be back on the field in 2022— The opportunity in front of us, with our new ownership, is simply too big to rush back. We want to do this properly with care and thought for everyone who loves football, especially our players, coaches, partners and fans,” said effrey Pollack, XFL President and COO.
With The Rock already confirming that the XFL will be coming back in 2022 and the President and COO releasing a statement as well should be the only indication that bettors need to bet that they will. The fact that they are longshot odds as well should have bettors jumping out of their seats for some of the easiest money to ever be made.
Something else to look forward to when the XFL returns would of course be the many betting lines and odds that they come with.
