The 2020 XFL season was the first season in the reboot of the XFL, and the second in the history of the XFL brand created and owned by professional wrestling magnate Vince McMahon, coming 19 years after the 2001 XFL season with all teams owned by the new entity Alpha Entertainment LLC, a spin off from WWE, also owned by Vince McMahon.
The season began on February 8, 2020, with the DC Defenders hosting and defeating the Seattle Dragons. The league planned to have a ten-week regular season through April 12, with division championships April 18 and 19, with the XFL Championship scheduled for April 26 in Houston.
In March 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the XFL announced that the league would be cancelling the rest of the season, ahead of the league's suspension of operations and bankruptcy filing a month later. The assets of the league were then sold to Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Gerry Cardinale (RedBird Capital) on August 3, 2020.
As a result no playoffs were held but with the Houston Roughnecks being clear winners after 5 weeks of play.
