Football is one of those sports where you risk everything.

From an idea sketched on a bar napkin to a professional startup league, the Alliance of American Football was envisioned as a platform to develop players and coaches, complementing the NFL’s off-season.

For some players, it’s a fresh start. For others, it’s the continuation of a dream. And for a few, it’s a pivotal moment to move on from the game.

This all-access, two-part documentary series chronicles the experiences of the league's commissioner, players, coaches, and executives as they prepare for its inaugural season.

Originally debuting on CBS Sports Network, the series is now available to watch on YouTube: Episode 1 & Episode 2.
