If you recall, the eight teams of the first iteration of the XFL included:
- Birmingham Thunderbolts
- Chicago Enforcers
- New York/New Jersey Hitmen
- Orlando Rage
- Las Vegas Outlaws
- Los Angeles Xtreme
- Memphis Maniax
- San Francisco Demons
Only New York and Los Angeles are returning to the XFL, and it's very unlikely they'll keep the same name.
The XFL is set to return Saturday, February 8, 2020.
