More details on the Xtreme Soccer League's business model and upcoming season are starting to come to light. Sources have told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that teams will play a 20-game regular season schedule starting in December.
The league will consist of four teams: the New Jersey Ironmen, Chicago Storm, Detroit Ignition and Milwaukee Wave. Additional teams are being considered for future seasons.
Sources have also told the Sentinel that the XSL will employ a salary cap in an effort to reduce costs. To promote stability, all teams must enter into a five year commitment to the league.
The XSL will be a single-entity league governed by a commissioner. As we reported earlier, the rival National Indoor Soccer League will be decentralized with no league office or commissioner. League decisions will be made by teams cooperatively.
The NISL will not use a salary cap.
We here at the Local Fe26 will offer our thoughts once all details have been announced. The XSL has a press conference set for September 16th. Markets and schedules should be made available at that time. You can check out the Sentinel's article here.
