Arlington, TX – May 23, 2023 – The XFL announced today that it will host a series of player showcases across the United States in June and July. These showcases will give prospective football players a chance to exhibit their skills in front of XFL coaches and personnel directors. Players will be evaluated based on performance for inclusion in the XFL Draft player pool for the upcoming 2024 season. The top performers will be invited to the XFL Combine, which will be held July 25-27 in Arlington, Texas.
“We are excited to announce the showcases for this summer. Our team and League-level football operations staff are ready to discover and evaluate seasoned athletes looking to compete in a dynamic, fast-paced game and grow professionally with the XFL,” said Russ Brandon, XFL President. “We saw great success with these showcases last summer and we are looking to replicate that this year. It is our goal to make football more accessible to more players, and these showcases do exactly that by putting players directly in front of our eight coaching staffs. I’m looking forward to seeing the turnout at all of our events.”
The first showcase of the summer will be the XFL HBCU Showcase at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia, June 17.
Additional showcases will be held throughout the summer in Atlanta (June 18), St. Louis (July 7), Washington DC (July 9), Houston (July 14) and Arizona (July 16). Additional information on each of the showcases can be found below.
