The XFL draft is scheduled for October while the first regular-season games are planned for Feb. 8, 2020, the weekend after Super Bowl LIV.

Here's more on each team:

Dallas Renegades

Deep in the heart of Texas beats a different kind of pulse.

A swagger that can't be denied.

This is hell on wheels, between hash marks.

The Renegades will be coached and managed by former Oklahoma boss Bob Stoops. They'll play their home games at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas, home of MLB's Texas Rangers.

D.C. Defenders

One quest. One purpose. One resolve.

Seeking glory through grit. Victory through valor.

The XFL announced in February that former Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator and Stanford assistant Pep Hamilton will be D.C.'s head coach. The Defenders will reside in Audi Field, which also houses D.C. United of MLS.

Houston Roughnecks

Mercenaries in the muck.

Brawlers in blackened dirt.

The scratching, grinding, never-bending few.

Veteran coach June Jones was tabbed to lead the Houston XFL franchise. Jones has experience in the NFL (Falcons, Oilers, and Lions assistant) and the CFL (Hamilton Tiger-Cats), but is best known for his nine-year stint as Hawaii's head coach from 1999-2007. The Roughnecks will play their home games at TDECU Stadium.

Los Angeles Wildcats

This is prime time meets primal instinct.

This is showtime with a snarl.

This is our time to roar.

Dignity Health Sports Park, formerly the StubHub Center, will house the Wildcats (it's also home to the Los Angeles Chargers until 2020). Former Green Bay Packers assistant Winston Moss was named the team's head coach and general manager in February.

New York Guardians

Watchdogs over the metropolis.

They are the first line of defense, and there is no need for a second.

The Guardians will share MetLife Stadium with the New York Giants and New York Jets, though the inaugural XFL season won't interfere with the NFL schedule. Kevin Gilbride, a former Chargers head coach and assistant for multiple NFL squads, will coach and manage the new franchise.

St. Louis BattleHawks

Winged warriors. Preparing for flight. Preparing to fight.

Their mission: create chaos. Their mandate: win at all costs.

Jonathan Hayes, previously the Cincinnati Bengals' tight ends coach for the last 16 years, was named head coach and general manager of St. Louis in February. The BattleHawks will play their home games at The Dome at America's Center, which housed the Rams from 1995-2015.

Seattle Dragons

Relentless, ruthless, ravenous.

Not of mythology, but of muscle and might.

True to his ties out west, former Seattle Seahawks quarterback and NFL assistant Jim Zorn will coach the Dragons. Their home games will take place at CenturyLink Field.

Tampa Bay Vipers

Hunters by instinct. Cold-blooded by nature.

Luring all who challenge them into the jaws of defeat.
