The team's original owner was Ed Tepper, who had been one of the co-founders of the original MISL. Initially, the KiXX were one of the better drawing teams in the league, but their attendance fell at the turn of the century. In 2001, the KiXX along with five other NPSL franchises founded the new Major Indoor Soccer League. The KiXX won the first MISL championship (2001-2002 season) over the Milwaukee Wave 2 games to 1 (4 to 11, 11 to 4, 8 to 6) in the best of three game championship series. The KiXX also won the 2006-2007 MISL championship defeating the Detroit Ignition 13 to 8 in a one game championship. After the MISL folded in 2008, the KiXX announced that they had joined the National Indoor Soccer League for its upcoming inaugural season in 2008-09.

With the demolition of the Wachovia Spectrum following the 2008 season, the Philadelphia KiXX announced their plans to move to the Liacouras Center, on the campus of Temple University, for 2009.
