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.

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[1] 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.[2][3]

Seasons

2020 season
