History

The Extreme Football League (X League) was announced in December 2019, as a successor to the Legends Football League (LFL). [1] The announcement included the Rush, [1] a successor to the LFL's Denver Dream. The X League's 2020 season was postponed, and the league also did not operate during 2021, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Rush first competed during the 2022 X League season; they lost both of their regular season games, to the Seattle Thunder and Atlanta Empire, [2] [3] and did not advance to the postseason.
