The XFL, owned by Dani Garcia and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, may merge with the USFL.
The XFL was purchased by Garcia, Johnson, and RedBird Capital in 2021 after Vince McMahon shut down the league due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league made a deal with Disney to broadcast games on ESPN, FX, and ABC.
The inaugural season took place earlier this year, with the Arlington Renegades winning the championship.
Axios.com is reporting that the XFL is in advanced talks to merge with the USFL, with a 50/50 merger and games broadcast on FOX and Disney-owned stations. Sportico has also confirmed that the two leagues are in talks.
