The League will be placing franchises in Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa, and Washington D.C.

According to today's announcement, the XFL has already found venues for each of the franchises to play in during that inaugural season. The list is a mix of baseball, college football, and soccer stadiums. See below, with the affiliated team in parentheses:

Globe Life Park in Arlington (Dallas)

Over the summer, the league hired its first commissioner, luring Oliver Luck, Andrew Luck's father, away from the NCAA to take over those responsibilities.
