XFL Championship Trophies

Since 2001, there has been three XFL seasons and each has its own Championship Trophy. One of the trophies was never awarded, or even manufactured (2020), but each trophy was similar in that they featured a large “X” in their design.

XFL 2023 Trophy

The 2023 XFL Championship Trophy features a football above a gold-treated “X” that symbolizes the XFL’s foundation as the intersection of dreams and opportunity. Gold is a traditional signifier of greatness and champions. The panels of the football are left open, representing the aperture of what football and the XFL can make possible for its players, coaches, fans, and cities. The trophy is a masterpiece of stainless steel and aluminum that stands 24 inches tall and weighs 27 pounds.

The trophy’s design was inspired by the XFL’s core values and stated mission to provide opportunity and reward hard work and dedication. The League commissioned Stephanie Hoffman, a trailblazing welder, artist, and owner of the nationally renowned Underground Metalworks, to craft both the XFL Championship and Divisional Championship trophies in her Forked River, New Jersey workshop.

XFL 2020 Trophy

No trophy was ever awarded in 2020, as the season ended early due to coronavirus. League sources indicate there were concept designs done for a trophy, and XFL staff were about to meet to make a decision on which concept to go with when the pandemic took precedence.

One such concept drawing has been shared via social media. It shows a steel “XFL” football atop a glass x-shaped stand mounted on a steel base, which is also in the shape of an “X”. Other concept drawings have not yet appeared online.

XFL 2001 Trophy

The 2001 XFL trophy featured a red and black XFL football with the words “XFL Championship” and “The Million Dollar Game” in red and white text, all mounted on a large chrome “X.”
