The 2023 XFL season kicked off Feb. 18 in what is the third attempt for a league that has been rebranded several times over the past two decades. The first incarnation of the XFL (2001) was canceled after one season while the second version (2020) ended after five weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The 2023 version is run by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Dani Garcia. It will compete with the USFL, but that league won't begin its second season until April. The XFL features eight teams, four in the North Division and four in the South Division. The top two teams in each division will make the playoffs as each team plays a 10-week schedule.

Here's a look at all eight 51-man rosters, which have plenty of familiar faces that were on NFL rosters at one point (you can check out all our XFL coverage here, including the full schedule, our 2023 season primer and players to know).
