The XFL has announced that one of its week six games will be played without fans. On Sunday, the Los Angeles Wildcats will head into Century Link Stadium to take on the Seattle Dragons as scheduled. However, there will be no fans in attendance. In spite of fans not being allowed to attend the game, the game will still air on ESPN 2 as scheduled.

The news comes after Washington Governor Jay Inslee banned all large social gatherings in the area. As a result, the Seattle Mariners will move their home opener to a later date. The Seattle Sounders are also scheduled to have a home game in ten days.

As of now, the XFL has not announced any changes to any of their other week six games. Other week six match ups include games in New Jersey, Florida and the District of Colombia. All three locations have confirmed cases of COVID-19.

As of now, Def Pen will plan to cover the Defenders week six match up in Washington, D.C. as scheduled.
