The XENON1T experiment has recently announced the observation of an excess in electron recoil events at energy range of 1-7 keV with a 3.5 sigma signal significance over the Standard Model prediction. In this letter we sketch the prospects of explaining such an excess from Migdal ionization events with below threshold nuclear recoil energies. Interestingly, these are expected to show signal events in the ballpark energy scale of the observed excess. We demonstrate that the observed signal can be reproduced through the Migdal effect by an O(1) GeV neutron-philic dark matter having a spin-dependent coupling with the nucleus. A more optimistic scenario is explored where the Migdal ionization is driven by MeV scale boosted dark matter. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
