The XFL Draft is here! - October 15-16

The XFL draft will be run via a teleconference call connecting all eight XFL franchises. Results will be posted on XFL.com, @xfl2020 on Twitter, @xfl on Instagram, and through the social media channels of the eight XFL teams.

Starting at 10 AM Eastern, each of the eight XFL teams will first be assigned a quarterback.

Then the draft will begin with selections of players from a list, currently comprised of 975 previously announced players. In each phase of the draft, teams will only be allowed to select players according to their position.

Skill Player: (Tue 15 Oct) (10 rounds) – Quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends.
Offensive Line: (Tue 15 Oct) (10 rounds) – Tackles, guards and centers.
Defensive Front Seven: (Tue 15 Oct) (10 rounds) – Defensive line and linebackers.
Defensive Backfield: (Wed 16 Oct) (10 rounds) – Cornerbacks and safeties.
Open Draft: (Wed 16 Oct) (30 rounds) – Punters, Kickers, Long Snappers, and all remaining players.

The pick order will vary for each phase of the draft:

Phase	Pick Order
Phase	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
Skill Phase	DC	HOU	NY	DAL	TB	STL	SEA	LA
OL Phase	LA	SEA	STL	TB	DAL	NYC	HOU	DC
D7 Phase	TB	STL	SEA	LA	DC	HOU	NY	DAL
DB Phase	DAL	NY	HOU	DC	LA	SEA	STL	TB
Open Phase	STL	NY	SEA	LA	TB	HOU	DC	DAL

Teams will have 90 seconds to make a selection. The league will use a “snake” format, which means the selection order reverses in each round. The draft will continue until each squad fills a 71-player roster.
