The 2019 The Spring League season (or TSL Austin) was the third overall in league history, which was played in Austin, Texas. 2019 season practice began March 31, 2019, with double headers on April 6 and 11, 2019. Each of the four teams played two games.[1]

The League partnered with the XFL to test potential rule adjustments, experiment with potential in-game technologies and scout talent as the league prepared for its inaugural season.[2] The XFL paid the league "six figures" for its services, a payment that allowed The Spring League to turn a profit that year for the first time.[3]
