The XFL has announced that the league will resume operations in 2022 under new ownership 🏈

Set to begin immediately after the NFL season concludes, the XFL is doing its part in creating a longer football season for fans. A longer season equals more action for legal betting on the XFL - something that should be very well received despite this being an inaugural season.

Sharing its name with the defunct XFL that played a single season in 2001, the upcoming season for the revitalized XFL will introduce a cleaner, quicker approach to its predecessor and the rivaling NFL.

This guide will help sports bettors of all types capitalize on America’s newest professional football league in the inaugural 2020 season. We provided recommended XFL betting sites, the history, and the latest trends of the XFL, plus any extra information and resources needed to maximize bankroll throughout the season.

Is it legal to bet on the XFL?

The XFL offers a unique opportunity to fans for betting.

Week 1 XFL Odds Odds as of Thursday and via PointsBet, where Action Network users can access an exclusive promotion to get a 200% deposit match (deposit $50, bet with $150). No strings attached.

First, like most sports, entertainment, and political wagering, Americans can gamble on outcomes in two ways: domestically and offshore. For certain fans, their home state may already allow locally licensed sports betting, meaning they can bet with a few clicks on a mobile app or by visiting their local sportsbook.

For everyone else, the second option is to gamble at offshore, online XFL betting sites. According to US federal gambling laws there are no prohibitions for placing bets at offshore sportsbooks that are operating legally within the industry.

However, what makes the XFL unique is its in-house connection to the sports betting world. League founder Vince McMahon is a minority stakeholder in DraftKings and the league has expressed an interest in running their fantasy football and betting operation through the service.

Not only that, but the league also hopes states with domestic sports betting will expand to every state that hosts a team, allowing the XFL to fully integrate sports wagering into the game.

What is the XFL?

Although it shares its name and trademark with the defunct 2001 iteration of the XFL, the 2020 revitalization of the league is all its own. On January 25, 2018, the newly formed Alpha Entertainment, a media investment conglomerate founded by McMahon, announced a revival of the XFL.

The XFL will have eight teams in its inaugural season, all of which are owned by the league, and will play over the course of a 10-week season with a two-week postseason. The XFL will not allow cheerleaders, political protests, or convicted felons because, as McMahon put it: “people don't want social and political issues coming into play when they are trying to be entertained.” However, players will not be barred from using cannabis, nor will they be tested for it.

Aside from trying to make the XFL more compact on the outside, the league’s goal is to also make their game runtimes more concise, too. Originally shooting for a two-hour window, the XFL now plans to finish their game in less than two-and-a-half hours. For comparison, a standard NFL game runs a little over three hours.

XFL teams

The first season of the XFL will feature eight teams, split up evenly into a Western and Eastern Conference. The league has also already started to plan their expansion, listing a future second Dallas team as the ninth squad overall.

Western Conference

• Dallas Renegades
• Houston Roughnecks
• Los Angeles Wildcats
• Seattle Dragons

Eastern Conference

• DC Defenders
• New York Guardians
• Louis BattleHawks
• Tampa Bay Vipers

Practice Squad

• Dallas

Future teams

• Additional Dallas team TBA

The 2020 XFL draft format

Before the start of the draft in October, coaches submitted their lists of preferred quarterbacks. After the submissions, the league allocated each team one “tier 1” QB to each of the eight teams.

After the quarterback allocation, the official draft began. Done through a snake format similar to fantasy football drafts, each phase of the draft featured a different selection of specifics positions.

• Phase 1: 10 rounds for offensive skill positions (quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends)
• Phase 2: 10 rounds for offensive linemen (offensive tackles, guards, and centers)
• Phase 3: 10 rounds for the defensive front seven (defensive linemen and linebackers)
• Phase 4: 10 rounds for defensive backs (cornerbacks and safeties)
• Phase 5: 30 rounds for the open draft (any position, including special teams)

Important XFL dates

• Draft: October 15-16, 2019
• Season begins: February 8, 2020
• Championship game: April 26, 2020 - canceled

Bets defined

• Point spread- the set margin of victory needed for the favored team. (ex. Dallas -5.5; Dallas must win by 6 or more.)
• Money line- a bet solely on the winner and loser of the matchup in which odds determine the payout for the winning team. (ex. New York -300; a $300 bet on New York’s win would payout $100.)
• Over/under- the total number of points expected to be scored by one or both teams for a specific time frame. (ex. over/under 49.5 total points for Tampa Bay vs. Houston; betting on the over means a prediction of 50 or more points.)
• Prop bet- bets made on anything not directly affecting the outcome of the game. (ex. total number of times the DC quarterback is sacked.)
• Parlay- betting on multiple lines in an attempt to earn a larger payout. All bets must win for the bet to pay.
• Future- bets made as long-term predictions. (ex. Los Angeles +225 for the XFL Championship.)

Resources for the XFL

As the XFL is a new league, one of the best sources available is their official website. Information on the league, its teams, and its players are all available on the site. Once the season officially begins, expect to see statistics, standings, and win/loss records here, too.

The newly launched XFL will showcase a heavy emphasis on sports betting. In fact, some of the new rules were built with the engagement of the sports betting fan in mind, and wagering will be front and center during the games.

'For a lot of our fans, free-to-play gaming, fantasy and legal sports betting have become [as] essential to the football experience as the helmet, ball and jersey,' XFL president Jeffrey Pollack said.

Let's take a deeper look at the role of sports betting in the upcoming XFL season.

Where can you bet the XFL?

All major sportsbooks, including Caesars Sportsbook, will have lines up for every game during the XFL season. In Week 1, the DC Defenders (-8 vs. Seattle Dragons), Houston Roughnecks (-6 vs. Los Angeles Wildcats), Tampa Bay Vipers (-2.5 at New York Guardians) and Dallas Renegades (-9.5 vs. St. Louis BattleHawks) opened as favorites. DC covered with a 31-19 win, Houston cruised to a 37-17 cover, New York upset Tampa Bay 23-3, and St. Louis got a 15-9 win over Dallas.

The following states have authorized XFL betting markets ahead of the inaugural season: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Rhode Island, Iowa and Nevada. More states may allow it as the season gets underway. Notably, many states and sportsbooks did not begin offering lines on last spring's Alliance of American Football (AAF) season until after Week 1.

What can you bet on?

Point spreads, odds to win the championship and season win totals, just like in the NFL, are up at most sportsbooks. In addition, totals on individual games will be offered on a weekly basis, and the plan is to offer player props once the season gets underway.

How will betting on the XFL differ from NFL betting?

Betting limits will vary from book to book but will be lower than the limits for a typical NFL game. Bettors should expect lines to move quickly and significantly as oddsmakers look to gauge the new rules and the betting patterns.

How will the new rules factor into betting?

The XFL's new rules were designed to speed up the game, and that will likely have a direct impact on betting and scoring. According to league officials, XFL preseason games averaged 163 to 167 total plays per game. NFL games averaged 126.8 offensive snaps per game this season. In theory, this could mean more scoring.

How else will the rules impact betting?

Glad you asked. In the XFL, you can elect to go for one point (a play run from the 2-yard line), two points (from the 5) or three points (from the 10) after each touchdown. This will make the standard key betting numbers of 3 and 7 likely irrelevant and open up a whole new angle to betting.

In addition, overtime will consist of each team getting five one-play possessions to attempt to score from the 5-yard line and will continue until a team is mathematically eliminated. This means that if a game has a point spread of 6 or less, it will always be in play in the OT.

Is the XFL on top of things bettors want and need, like injury reports?

Yes, this is where things will differ from the AAF, which supplied very limited information. Through surveys, the XFL identified what fans wanted to be more engaged in games. According to league officials, the XFL's injury reporting will closely replicate the NFL's, using similar nomenclature in practice reports like 'limited participation,' and will be updated throughout the week.

What else do I need to know about how the XFL will embrace sports betting?

ESPN and ABC plan to incorporate betting lines into their on-screen scoreboards and more freely discuss those lines during broadcasts. This is vastly different from the NFL, which does not allow on-screen graphics regarding sports betting or in-game mentions of it. Every XFL game in 2020 will be televised by ABC, ESPN, Fox or FS1.
