I'm going back to my original assessment, now with talk of 2nd or 3rd week of April, which is what I was expecting a full lockdown to be over. If the XFL had maintained the team thru 4/15 (BEFORE deciding) and had a 3 week playoff off or final week, plus 2 week playoff in May, it could have gone no fans and TV only - which makes more sense for FB.4th&long wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 10:30 amAt this point its the right thing to do, I didn't see them playing until mid-may (originally hoping 4-19/4-26). I think Mid-may would work with NBA out but its too hard to hold the teams together that long.MarkNelson wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 4:53 pm XFL has officially closed the season, looking forward to 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the most recent local and state regulations, have left the XFL no choice but to officially cancel the remainder of the 2020 season. This decision has been made with the health and safety of the entire XFL family as our top priority.
While we are disappointed to not complete the 2020 season, our hearts are full of appreciation for your overwhelming support.
Your passion, your commitment to your favorite XFL team and your love of football made our season a success beyond our wildest dreams. We’re grateful for the incredible response and look forward to playing full seasons for you — and with you — in 2021 and beyond.
When our teams return to the field, we’ll make every effort to ensure your faith in us is rewarded with even more fun and excitement. Your passion is our purpose, and everything we do, every day and for every season to come, is For the Love of Football.
We hope you will stay connected to our league and team social and digital channels for news, features, and updates along the way.
From all of us at the XFL, be safe, stay healthy, and, again, thank you. Here’s to 2021!
Sincerely,
Oliver Luck

It certainly was fun while it lasted, shame they couldn't sneak one more game in but its on to 2021.
Is what it is at this point and XFL really did kick azz so no way they aren't back in 2021.
