The Kansas City Force is a women's American football team based in Independence, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City. It is one of the eight charter franchises of the X League. Home games will be played at the Cable Dahmer Arena.[1]

History[]

In December 2019, it was announced that the Legends Football League (LFL) would be relaunched as the X League, or Extreme Football League, to begin play in April 2020. In January 2020, the Kansas City Force was established as an expansion franchise[2] replacing the Nashville Knights, an LFL franchise that would have migrated into the X League but was removed after missing several procedural deadlines for participating in the 2020 season.[3][4]

Seasons[]

2020 season[]

Open tryouts were held at The Fieldhouse in Blue Springs, Missouri, on January 18, 2020, in preparation of the team's inaugural season.[4] However, the season never took place amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
