The Million Dollar Game, also known as the (2001 or 1st) XFL Championship, was the lone championship of the original 2001 incarnation of the XFL.[1] The game was played on Saturday, April 21, 2001, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Western Division champion Los Angeles Xtreme defeated the western runner-up San Francisco Demons 38–6.
The game's original name was the "Big Game at the End of the Season;" it was changed during Week 3 of the regular season due to wordiness and concerns over potential to be genericized.[2] The "Million Dollar Game" name derived from the pot of one million dollars that would be split among the players of the winning team (with each team having 38 players, each player would receive approximately $26,316 for winning).
Less than a month after the championship, the league would cease operations following abysmal ratings along with NBC officially parting ways with the league. There would not be another XFL champion until 22 years later in which the Arlington Renegades would win the 2023 XFL Championship Game.
