How to watch the 2023 XFL Championship game: Start time, matchup, streaming options and odds
The 2023 XFL season has finally arrived at its final game of the year, the XFL Championship game.
This the first championship game since the XFL was relaunched by a new ownership group including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Danny Garcia among others.
The championship game will pit the Arlington Renegades (4-6) and the D.C. Defenders (9-1).
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the championship game.
Start time
The game will air at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 13, at the Alamodome.
Streaming options
The game will air on WFAA-8 and can be streamed on ESPN’s app.
Teams
D.C. Defenders
The Defenders have been one of the best teams in the XFL all season and with only one loss they are the overwhelming favorites to win the game.
The Defenders beat the Seattle Sea Dragons by 17 points to advance to the championship game.
Arlington Renegades
The Renegades were a middling team for most of the season and had some of the league’s worst quarterback play until a trade for Luis Perez.
With Perez behind center, the Renegades’ offense stabilized and improved enough to pull off a massive upset against the Houston Roughnecks in the XFL Division Championship.
Odds
The Defenders are six-point favorites in the title tilt according to Fanduel.
