D.C. Defenders XFL Stadium: Seating capacity and more about D.C.'s XFL home stadium

Following the cancelation of its initial season halfway through the 2020 campaign because of COVID-19, the XFL has started up again this season. The redesigned NFL parallel organization hasn't hosted a game in nearly three years, and since then, some adjustments have been made.

One of them is administration, as evidenced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's $15 million purchase of the league from insolvency with the help of RedBird Capital Partners and Dany Garcia.

The home games for the D.C. Defenders, one of the eight clubs vying for the XFL championship, will be held at Audi Field, a sports arena in Washington, D.C.'s Buzzard Point neighborhood. There are 20,000 seats in the stadium.

In 2020, the Defenders had a perfect home record at Audi Field. The stadium has also played host to professional soccer games for the USMNT, college soccer, and the NWSL. In July 2020, it will play host to the MLS All-Star Game.

The XFL's D.C. Defenders started hosting their home matches at Audi Field in 2020. Their opening contest resulted in a 31-19 victory over the Seattle Dragons. The COVID-19 outbreak caused the Defenders' XFL campaign to be cut short after three regular-season games played at home.

In 2023, they'll still be trying to turn this stadium into a fortress.
