"We are excited to debut the X League in Summer 2022 to a national audience," said Dikta, chairman of X Football. "We believe Loveland will be an incredible market as our Denver Rush takes their first step in building a great franchise."

"Football is the only major sport that lacks a women’s commercial platform. We believe in leveling the playing field for women and future generations of girls that want to play the game at the highest level and look forward to partnering with corporate sponsors that share our vision," said Chris Pearlman, CEO, Aggregate Sports, X League’s national sponsorship agency.
The league will expand to include all 32 NFL cities by 2028. In addition, the X League will journey to the United Kingdom by 2025 and Germany by 2026, with plans for Asia, Australia, Canada, and Mexico.
