XFL has shut down completely – laid off employees

XFL 2020
Mr. McMahon announcing XFL 2020.

The 2020 relaunch of XFL was something that Vince McMahon had high expectations for. However, it did not go as expected. Following its debut across multiple networks, ratings started to decrease. The final nail in the coffin was the COVID-19 outbreak.

XFL cancelled the remainder of their season and allowed the players to accept offers from the NFL and Canadian Football League. Now it seems it has shut down for good.

Vince McMahon’s football league has officially shut down. All employees have been released as a result of this.

NEWS: on a call today with COO Jeffery Pollock, XFL employees were just informed that the league is suspending operations and all employees have been laid off. Another sport impacted further by the current COVID-19 crisis

ESPN noted that XFL has no plans of starting again. The COVID-19 outbreak certainly has caused a huge loss for many organizations. We can hope the situation will be contained eventually.
