LOS ANGELES & NEW YORK (August 2, 2022) – In anticipation of the upcoming 2023 season, the XFL and Ticketmaster announced today a new, multi-year partnership making Ticketmaster the Official Ticketing Partner of the XFL. All 43 games of the XFL season (40 regular season games, two playoffs, one championship) across the League’s eight team markets will be ticketed by Ticketmaster.
“We are thrilled to team up with the XFL and continue the momentum they are building heading into the start of the 2023 season,” said Clay Luter, Ticketmaster Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Sports. “We are energized by the vision that the new ownership group has for the reimagined XFL and are excited to help bring their vision to life with new innovations and enhanced technology.”
The XFL will embrace a mobile-first ticketing strategy giving fans convenient and easy-to-use tools to purchase and manage their tickets. XFL fans will have access to Ticketmaster’s industry-leading digital ticketing technology when buying both primary and resale tickets.
