Every year, the XFL holds a summertime showcase that allows interested football players to exhibit their skills in front of XFL coaches and personnel directors. Players are evaluated based on performance for inclusion in the draft player pool for the upcoming season.
This event features numerous NFL Combine-like drills like the 40yd Dash, 3 Cone drill, Triple Broad Jump, QB Pocket Movement and select Position Drills. It's open to everyone who graduated from high school in 2019 or earlier or a player who has exhausted collegiate football eligibility.
Furthermore, a prospective showcase participant must not be under contract by any other professional football league, nor a current member of a collegiate football team for the season in review. Prospective players are also required to pay a token fee for registration.

What is the basic structure of XFL?
Eight teams are divided into two divisions to play a ten-week regular season. In 2023, the top two teams in each division will play a round of semifinal playoff games on April 29-30 before a championship game on May 13.
The league made three changes to its franchise locations, moving out of New York, Los Angeles, and Tampa, Florida, into Las Vegas, San Antonio, and Orlando, Florida.
Here are the division arrangements
South Division: Arlington Renegades, Houston Roughnecks, Orlando Guardians, San Antonio Brahmas
North Division: D.C. Defenders, Seattle Sea Dragons, St. Louis BattleHawks, Vegas Vipers
Does XFL operate outside their home market or from central location?
The 2023 season will see teams utilize a hybrid structure. All eight teams will practice in or around a hub in Arlington, Texas, where training camp has been underway since early January.
Franchises will then travel to home markets for games that will be played in a combination of NFL/college stadiums, converted baseball ballparks and soccer fields.
These are the prospective venues for each franchise:
- Arlington: Choctaw Stadium
- Houston: TDECU Stadium
- Orlando: Camping World Stadium
- Vegas: Cashman Field
- San Antonio: Alamodome
- Seattle: Lumen Field
- St. Louis: The Dome at America's Center
- D.C.: Audi Field
What are the players' salaries in the XFL?
Including other potential bonuses, the average player will earn about $60,000 from training camp through the end of the season. The league also values its benefits package as worth an additional $20,000, in addition to paying for housing and two meals a day during the season.
Some XFL quarterbacks are expected to receive higher salaries but certainly lower than in 2020 when the league signed some passers to deals worth up to $500,000 annually.
