The XFL revealed the eight team names and their logos Wednesday morning.

Here are the eight teams, with teasers for each in the video above:

  • St. Louis Battlehawks
  • Tampa Bay Vipers
  • The New York Guardians
  • Seattle Dragons
  • Houston Roughnecks
  • Los Angeles Wildcats
  • DC Defenders
  • Dallas Renegades

“The XFL is about football and fun, and our team identities are intended to signify just that,” said XFL President and COO, Jeffrey Pollack. “Now it’s up to our fans and players to help write the story. What happens on the field and in the community, in the years ahead, will determine the true spirit of each team.”

The XFL has cut a media rights deal with Disney and Fox for its inaugural season, which will have its games air across ESPN, ABC, Fox and Fox Sports 1. The XFL will kick off on Feb. 8 and 9, 2020, the weekend following Super Bowl LIV in South Florida. The rebooted XFL will air two games apiece on Saturday and Sunday, with its championship scheduled for April 26 on ESPN.

In 2001, the original XFL aired mostly on NBC, with other games on TNN and UPN.

The deal gives both Fox and ESPN even more pro football and something to fill the weekend schedule during the NFL’s long offseason, while it gives ABC pro football for the first time since it lost “Monday Night Football” after the 2005 season.

The new XFL will play in the following venues: New York (MetLife Stadium), Dallas (Globe Life Park in Arlington), Houston (TDECU Stadium), Los Angeles (StubHub Center), St. Louis (Dome at America’s Center), Seattle (CenturyLink Field), Tampa Bay (Raymond James Stadium) and Washington, D.C. (Audi Field).
