2023 XFL draft
2023 American football player draft
The 2023 XFL draft was the player selection process to fill the rosters of the eight teams for the 2023 XFL season, and the second draft in the rebooted version of the XFL history, following the 2020 draft.
The draft was held on November 15–17, 2022, with results released through the XFL's social media channels.
Eligibility
The XFL 2023 draft pool consists of 1,700 players that are eligible. Of those, 528 players will advance to the preseason rosters.
XFL personnel have evaluated nearly 6,000 players in seven XFL showcases: Washington, D.C. (College Park, MD), HBCU (Jackson, MS), Florida (Bradenton, FL), Arizona (Tempe, AZ), Hawaii (Honolulu, HI), Texas (Arlington, TX) and "supplemental showcase" for players on the "XFL waitlist" in San Diego, CA, which was run by American National Combines (ANC). The league also held a separate "Specialist Showcase" run by Nick Novak's Novak Kicking & Consulting.
Selected players who participated in XFL showcases were given a "Player Pool Invitation" which was an official invitation to the 2023 draft. XFL personnel also evaluated and invited players from NFL training camps and tryouts. Players from 2020 XFL season were giving an automatic entry into the league's draft pool. International players were excluded, since the league was ineligible to seek P visas for players from outside the United States.

Why this record matters

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115858090. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023, 2020 and 2022.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
