Well, folks, the regular season is over, and we are headed to the playoffs! Despite our previous takes on the games, at least one gave us much more than we expected. We witnessed heartbreak late , a Wheeling thrashing, and all we could handle from the AAL2 Playoffs. We break it all down, and preview the playoffs, all in this week's Everything AAL!
I had the opportunity (and privilege) to attend the Kats-Firebirds game in Clarksville, and I was nothing short of awe-struck! In the past, I have seen the crowds, game day experience, and overall operations of a couple of teams in various leagues, but what I witnessed in F&M Bank Arena was something special!
The American Arena League rebooted for the first season of play since 2021. Fans from across the country had mixed feelings on what they saw as just another fly-by-night league that will be gone in a year, but skepticism is slowly turning to trust, read on and find out how!

If you wanted intense, down to the last drive football, the first round of the NAL playoffs gave you all you could have possibly asked for!

We cover it all in this week's NAL Review!
If you love watching insane score totals, watching defenses score, and just blood bath blow out football, this was your kind of weekend in the AAL!

We cover all of this- the race to the end and the upcoming AAL2 playoffs all in this week’s Everything AAL.

As far as the American Arena League goes, this was a quiet week; only a single AAL game was played due to the issues with the Wesbanco and the Wheeling Nailers hockey game. As far as the American Arena League goes, this was a quiet week; only a single AAL game was played due to the issues with the Wesbanco and the Wheeling Nailers hockey game. All in all, it wasn't the most entertaining weekend, but not every week can be a nail-biter and instant classics. As we wind down into the final three weeks, the games will get more intense, especially considering the Battle for those coveted top two sports! While the game wasn't the most intense, the news for 2027 was absolutely mind-blowing: two new expansion teams!Â
AAL Week 4 can only be described for what it was, a blowout. We had two league-on-league games that ended with an absolute throttling for both home teams. It is something you never want to see, but it is a part of the game. While the AAL and its members build into what we all know it can be, we will see growing pains like the atrocities we witnessed last weekend. We cover the game, a little bit of recent news, and the upcoming AAL vs AAL2 weekend ahead, all in this week's Everything AAL.
Week Nine in the National Arena League was somewhat of a weekend of decisions. Not mental, but more of teams collectively deciding where they wanted the rest of their seasons to go. It was also a weekend of division, as we saw two of the three games all but end the hopes of two teams, and lock in two others. All in NAL Week 9 Review!
