History

In December 2019, it was announced that the Legends Football League (LFL) would be relaunched as the X League, or Extreme Football League, to begin play in April 2020. In January 2020, the Kansas City Force was established as an expansion franchise[2] replacing the Nashville Knights, an LFL franchise that would have migrated into the X League but was removed after missing several procedural deadlines for participating in the 2020 season.[3][4]
