“We’re testing, we’re experimenting, we’re looking for new ways to help big brands and new brands connect with the football audience,” XFL President and COO Jeffrey Pollack said.

The XFL enters its fifth weekend with shrinking attendance and ratings numbers. While these metrics have shown signs of stabilization, major tests are coming via March Madness — and separately from the coronavirus.
