The XFL released team names and logos today. The league is set to debut in February with eight teams.
Hunters by instinct. Cold-blooded by nature.
Luring all who challenge them into the jaws of defeat.

The XFL has a solid TV deal in place with both Walt Disney Co. and Fox Corp. With weekly games on Fox and ABC as well as ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, and FS2. The league will televise back-to-back games on Saturdays starting at 2 p.m., as well as two additional games on Sunday. The TV deal alone puts this league ahead of the recently defunct AAF.
