XFL Week 1 schedule: Start times, TV channels, how to stream

The 2020 XFL season kicks off on Saturday, and for the next two months, you’ll be able to get your football fix with a pair of games on both Saturday and Sunday. Every XFL game this year will be televised on a major national network, so it won’t be difficult to follow all the action.

The opening game of the new season, Seattle vs. DC, will give us our first look at the revamped XFL rule set, which allows for nine-point touchdowns and shootout-style overtimes, among other things. You can read our full guide to the XFL rules here. All betting info via BetMGM.
