According to reliable sources, notably XFL News Hub’s Mike Mitchell, the Vegas Vipers may be contemplating a move away from Las Vegas for the 2024 XFL season. This speculation arises after a challenging season for the team, coupled with a lack of substantial support from both the business and media communities in Las Vegas.
More likely. No Vegas.

The Vegas Vipers’ 2023 Performance
The Vegas Vipers completed the 2023 season with a record of 2-8, positioning them at the bottom of the XFL’s North Division. With a point differential of -68 and ending the season with a three-game losing streak, the performance metrics clearly indicate room for significant improvement.
Coaching Changes for 2024
The subpar season resulted in a change at the coaching level, with Rod Woodson and the XFL parting ways. The franchise has since appointed Dr. Anthony Blevins as the head coach for the upcoming 2024 season. Blevins comes with the expectation of revitalizing the team’s performance and establishing a new direction for the players.
Prospective Relocation Sites
The team’s disappointing season and the absence of adequate support in Las Vegas have led to the exploration of new locations for the 2024 season. Two locations have emerged as serious considerations: Nashville, Tennessee, and Tempe, Arizona. One stadium being discussed is at Arizona State University. These locations are being viewed as potentially more receptive markets for the team, offering a fresh start and a new fan base. The XFL has been mulling their options beyond Vegas and Cashman Field.

The Business Case for Relocation
The Vipers have faced challenges in garnering consistent business and media support in Las Vegas. In comparison, Nashville has shown a growing interest in sports, and Arizona State University offers the appeal of a vibrant college environment, which could be more conducive for the team’s growth and fan engagement.

The forthcoming months will be pivotal for the Vegas Vipers as they finalize their location for the 2024 XFL season and embark on a new chapter under the leadership of Anthony Blevins. The potential move signifies an important moment for the team as they aim to rebuild and redefine their identity in the XFL landscape.
