Metro area background

Houston joins Seattle, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, St. Louis, Tampa Bay and Washington, D.C. as the league's inaugural cities.

Houston has previously hosted several other alternative professional football teams, including the Texans of the World Football League (unrelated to the current NFL team of the same name), Gamblers of the United States Football League, and Thunderbears of the Arena Football League. The city has a long association with commissioner Oliver Luck, who played for the Houston Oilers in the National Football League and previously served as president of Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo; Houston was one of the first cities the league visited in September 2018 in regard to a potential XFL team.^[2]

Houston has one major league winter sport against which the XFL will economically compete, the NBA's Houston Rockets. The team will also have to compete against the MLS's Houston Dynamo in March and April.
