The '''Arizona Red Devils''' were a [women's American football](/source/women's_American_football) team in the Extreme Football League ([X League](/source/X_League_(women's_football))) based in [Mesa, Arizona](/source/Mesa%2C_Arizona). Due to season cancellations and issues within the franchise during the league's 2022 season, the team did not compete in the X League.

==History==
The Extreme Football League ([X League](/source/X_League_(women's_football))) was announced in December 2019, as a successor to the [Legends Football League](/source/Legends_Football_League) (LFL).<ref name = "X2020">{{cite press release |url=https://extfl.com/xwire/xwire/ |title=A NEW ERA IN WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT, THE X LEAGUE |website=extfl.com |date=December 17, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200114162543/https://extfl.com/xwire/xwire/ |archive-date=January 14, 2020 |via=[Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine)}}</ref> The original announcement included a team in [Omaha, Nebraska](/source/Omaha%2C_Nebraska), the Omaha Red Devils,<ref name = "X2020"/> a successor to the LFL's [Omaha Heart](/source/Omaha_Heart).
