X League
A new era in women’s empowerment. In the age of female empowerment in sports, the Extreme Football League (or ‘X League’) will make history prior to even playing a single game, as the league is announcing it will provide its athletes with ownership equity as they build their tenure in the sport. Alongside shattering glass ceilings in women’s sport by making its athletes future equity owners, the X League will also be established as the highest echelon of women’s tackle football.
"This is not your father’s football league", the X League will compromise of some of the world’s most athletic women, battling on a 70-yard field, in 7-on-7 full-contact tackle football. If you miss old school black-and-blue football, played by passionate athletes, the X League, is your league. The 2021 season of the X League will include eight (8) teams nationally with plans for growth into twenty-four (24) US markets. The 2021 season will feature the teams:
Arizona Red Devils
Atlanta Empire
Austin Sound
Chicago Blitz
Denver Rush
Kansas City Force
Los Angeles Black Storm
Seattle Thunder
X League games will be played at major arenas and stadiums around the country that include the ShoWare Center (Seattle), Toyota Arena (Los Angeles), H-E-B Center (Austin), Denver Coliseum (Denver), SeatGeek Stadium (Chicago), and Infinite Energy Center (Atlanta). Game days will be an experience unlike any other in sports, kicking-off with tailgate festivities and once inside the doors of the stadium, be ready for a modern-day Roman Coliseum type battle. Games will conclude with homes teams hosting post-game meet and greet with all attending fans.
