The Seattle Sea Dragons return for XFL play

• ESPN+ will stream this and all games of the 10-week season.

Context: The eight-team league, an alternative to the NFL, originally launched in 2001, but only lasted a season.

• It restarted in 2020, but ended after five weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic.
• Later that year, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Dany Garcia and Gerry Cardinale pulled together to resurrect the league.

State of play: Some XFL rules are intriguingly different.

• There is no option to kick an extra point after a touchdown. Teams have run or pass options that can garner up to three extra points.
• Coaches get a once-per-game opportunity to contest any call.

Details: Season and single-game tickets for Lumen Field home games are available online. Single-game seats run from $20-$95, and season passes for the five home games range from $100-$495.

The big picture: There's even more football out there!

• The men's USFL season starts April 15, but there's no Seattle team.
• We also have three women's football teams in three different leagues: the Spartans, the Majestics and the Thunder.
