The XFL player allocation process was held in multiple phases, separated by position groups. The league used a "snake" format in each phase, in which the draft order reversed with each round. The draft order was shuffled for each phase as predetermined through lotteries. A draft pool of 1,000 eligible players was announced in 200-player installments the week before the draft.[2][3] The first three phases took place on October 15, with the final two phases occurring on October 16. Teams were given 90 seconds to make each pick.

Each XFL team's manager-coach submitted a list of their preferred quarterbacks, with the league assigning one quarterback to each team prior to the draft as "tier 1" quarterbacks; if multiple teams requested the same player, the league resolved any disputes.

At the conclusion of the draft, each team had a 71-player preseason roster,[4] to be cut down to 52 players by the start of the 2020 XFL season.[5]

A supplemental draft was held November 22, 2019,[6] with 66 additional players selected.
