“We are incredibly excited about the upcoming season,” said Orlando Guardians head coach Terrell Buckley in a press statement. “We can’t wait to get to Houston on February 18. But we are just as excited to open up at home in front of our great fans in Orlando on February 26. The Guardians are going to bring a smart, fast, fearless brand of football to Orlando and the XFL.”

The Guardians' XFL games will air nationally on either ESPN or FX.

Single-game tickets for the 2023 XFL season go on sale Jan. 12.
