Michelle Angel accounted for four touchdowns, Maria Jackson scored twice, and Jamie Lock delivered a historic two-interception, punt-return-touchdown performance as Texas Elite defeated the San Diego Rebellion 34-14 before one of the largest crowds in IX Cup history at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco. FRISCO, Texas — In front of one of the largest crowds in WNFC IX Cup history, under the bright lights of Ford Center at The Star and with a national audience watching on ESPN,

No pressure. That phrase has become almost laughable when discussing the Texas Elite Spartans. Pressure is exactly what accompanies greatness, and for seven seasons, no team in women's professional football has carried more of it than the Spartans. On Sunday, June 21, at 3PM CT the Spartans will walk into Ford Center at The Star in Frisco for the 2026 IX Cup Championship Game against the San Diego Rebellion. The game will air live on ESPN2, placing the brightest spotlight in

On a warm Saturday night under the lights at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi, the Texas Elite Spartans closed out a perfect regular season in dominant fashion, overwhelming the Mississippi Panthers 40-12 in one of the most complete performances of the year. From the opening drive, the Spartans looked locked in, explosive, and fully prepared for the postseason. Texas wasted no time setting the tone. On the first offensive possession of the game, quarterback Michelle A

There are games on the schedule. Then there are games that carry receipts. This weekend in Arlington, the Texas Elite Spartans do not just welcome the Kansas City Glory to Maverick Stadium. They welcome back the last team that beat them. Last season, Kansas City stunned Texas Elite 20-14, handing the Spartans one of the rarest things in women’s football: a loss. It was not a fluke built on one play. It was a full-team fight. Maria Fautali ran for 106 yards and a touchdown. Na

The Texas Elite Spartans are teaming up with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) for a powerful Mother’s Day collaboration that brings together football, family, and purpose. Set against the backdrop of the Spartans’ final regular season home game, this partnership is designed to elevate a message that extends far beyond the field: protecting the people we love starts with the decisions we make every day; especially behind the wheel. “We are proud to partner with the Texas E

Final Regular Season Home Game Set for Saturday, May 9 at UT Arlington Maverick Stadium Against Kansas City Glory ARLINGTON, TX (April 30, 2026) — The #1 Ranked Texas Elite Spartans will close out their 2026 regular season home schedule with a historic and culture-defining event on Saturday, May 9, as they host the Kansas City Glory in what is being called the “Her Legacy Game: Honoring Every Woman Who Built the Game.” Positioned as the largest gathering of women’s tackle foo

This is exactly the kind of conversation the Texas Elite Spartans defense forces you to have when you look beyond the surface. Through three games in 2026, the Spartans are allowing just 12 total points, an average of 4.0 per game, the best mark in the WNFC. On its own, that number places this unit squarely at the top, as the best defense in the league. But for Texas, “elite” is not the benchmark, it’s the baseline. The real question is bigger, and it carries weight inside th

Two games into the 2026 season, the Texas Elite Spartans look exactly like a team that understands what it takes to win in June. Sitting at 2–0 and holding the No. 1 spot in the Women’s National Football Conference, the Spartans hasn’t just collected wins, they’ve controlled games. That distinction matters. Anyone can win early. Few teams impose their identity this quickly, this consistently, and this completely. It starts with defense, because it always does with this progra

The Texas Elite Spartans aren’t just building champions on the field, we’re building the future of football in Texas. We’re proud to partner with Dave Campbell’s Texas Football to support and inspire the next generation of girls through the Dave Campbell’s Girls Flag Football State Championship Showcase, a landmark moment for the growth of girls' high school football across the state.
