The 2008–09 Xtreme Soccer League season was the only season for the league. The members of the XSL's first season were four former MISL II teams: the Chicago Storm, the Detroit Ignition, the Milwaukee Wave, and the New Jersey Ironmen. The regular season kicked off on December 13, 2008, and concluded on April 5, 2009.

On March 29, 2009, the Detroit Ignition claimed the XSL championship when the New Jersey Ironmen defeated the Milwaukee Wave 15–14.

The league went on a one-year hiatus after its inaugural season but never returned to active play. The Milwaukee Wave joined the MISL III for the 2009–10 season.
