How to watch and stream the XFL game tonight
We interrupt NFL free agency to bring you a special edition of Thursday Night Football! Yes, really! Well, sorta.
The XFL will kick off Week 5 of its 2023 season on Thursday, March 16 when the Houston Roughnecks take on the Seattle Sea Dragons. The game will begin at 8:30 p.m. MT and will be televised on ESPN. Fans can stream the Houston-Seattle showdown on fuboTV (try it free).
The game will feature several former Denver Broncos players, but perhaps notable among the Broncos connections is Roughnecks head coach Wade Phillips.
Phillips, who won Super Bowl 50 with Denver as a defensive coordinator in 2015, has Houston 4-0 going into Week 5. He’s had an excellent start to his XFL career thanks in part to contributions from ex-Broncos running back Max Borghi, defensive back Kary Vincent and pass rusher Pita Taumoepenu.
The Sea Dragons, meanwhile, have two former Denver wide receivers (Kelvin McKnight and Damion Willis) and three former Broncos defensive backs (Rojesterman Farris, Alijah Holder and Linden Stephens) on their roster.
In total, there are 23 ex-Denver players in the XFL this spring.
