STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT (April 10, 2020) The XFL, the spring football league created by Vince Jim McMahon has announced it is suspending day-to-day operations and has laid off most of their employees. The announcement came at a time when most sports leagues in the United States are in a shut down mode due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The league, which was a reboot of the original XFL from 2001, had completed half of its 2020 season when play was terminated. The Houston Roughnecks, who posted a 5-0 record when play was suspended, was the only undefeated team in the league. The league consisted of eight teams.
