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!
The Playoffs are always exciting; the finality of the final score will be talked about for years to come, and the 2026 NAL playoffs have been no different! Check out the heart stopper in Pueblo and the end of a Cinderella run in Dodge City! All in this week's NAL Review!
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 had the Beef run over the Bandits, and the Spartans took the Liberty down to the wire! It was everything we could have asked for, and only sets up for an even more enticing Semi-final round! We cover it all in this week's NAL Review!
The National Arena League season has been a lot of things… and most of all, it has been absolutely unpredictable. Week 12 only reminded us of that. Who could have seen this hard a fall from grace as the Bandits did? Or Omaha and their last-second heroics coming? Not us! And we cover it all in this week's NAL review!
After a wild week of Pro versus developmental thrashings and a somewhat needed break, we get another weekend of elevated against established. Considering that all four have had weeks to regroup and come together as teams, we are certain this round will be much closer! We cover the fun, the games, and the drama all in this week's Everything AAL.
The past week was the shortest we have had all season, just two games. Though it was short it was still action-packed! We saw Omaha is all the fury you expect, special teams insanity, and a shake-up in the standings. We cover it all in this week's NAL review!
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.
This past weekend was a bit of a separator. It was the second full week of AAL vs AAL match-ups, and we got a clear picture of how the remainder of the season may go. We also got to see Columbus set the AAL single-game points record at a staggering 64 points. The bar is high, and the on-field product is living up to it. Find out everything you need to know 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!
The Columbus Lions have been around for 20 years, but something about 2026 just feels different. #AAL #ColumbusLions #ShadySportsNetwork
