The Denver Rush are a women's American football team in the Extreme Football League (X League) based in Loveland, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.
History[edit]
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.
