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 regular season is over, folks; it's been an absolute ride… The 2026 season has been everything you could ask for. We cover everything from crushed perfection, sad endings, and the first round of the playoffs, all in NAL review!
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!
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!
Week eight of the 2026 NAL season wasn't one of the high-scoring weeks, but man, did it deliver. We got two defensive grudge matches, one instant classic, and a get-right game for Omaha that was well past needed. We even dive a little into the less-than-joyful news on Dallas, all in this week's NAL week in Review!
As the season rolls on it continues to get more interesting. The top four have remained the same but the Chaos that comes along with the bottom five each week only adds another layer. Can Omaha get it right? Dallas to the playoffs? An Instant classic in Iowa? We cover it all in this week's NAL week in review!
If you missed week NAL Week Five, you missed what will end up being one of the best of the entire season. We once again saw first-time victories, this time paired with season-deciding games and a list of one-score wins. Let's get into what we have unofficially named "Separation Saturday”:

Professional football is coming to Pueblo, Colorado in 2026. Let's take a look at the team and see if the Punishers will be in Pueblo for the long term. #NAL #Colorado #PuebloPunishers #PuebloColorado #NationalArenaLeague #ShadySportsNetwork
Currently there are 3 major indoor/arena football leagues all trying to compete for the virtually the same audience. In this case I believe there is a win-win situation for the AF1 and NAL to leap frog the IFL which has held the top spot on the food chain for years now. What would this look like? #AF1 #NAL #ArenaFootball #IndoorFootball #Merge #Expansion #ShadySportsNetwork
