The 2019 AAF season was the first season in the history of the Alliance of American Football (AAF), which began on February 9, 2019. A ten-week regular season was scheduled for each of the league's eight teams.

On April 2, multiple sources indicated that Thomas Dundon, controlling owner of the AAF, had followed through on threats made in the previous week and suspended the AAF's operations, against the will of its founders.[1][2] Two days later, the league allowed players to leave their contracts to sign with NFL teams.[3]

At the time the season ended, each team had played eight games, and the Orlando Apollos, with a 7–1 record, were atop the league standings. A four-team playoff was scheduled to start on April 21, with a championship game on April 27. Initially scheduled for Sam Boyd Stadium on the outskirts of Las Vegas, Nevada, the title game was moved to the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas,[4] before the season was ended.

Teams

The Alliance of American Football had eight teams competing during its inaugural season.

Schedule

Each team had a ten-game regular season schedule, consisting of six in-conference games (home-and-away against each of the other three teams) and four out-of-conference games (one game against each of four teams; two home and two away). Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 9 were scheduled with out-of-conference games.[9] Each team played one preseason exhibition game against an out-of-conference opponent. All of the preseason scrimmage games were held January 27–28 at the Alamodome, in conjunction with the league's training camp.

Playoffs

Following the 10-week regular season, the top two teams in each conference were due to face each other in conference championship games, hosted by the higher seeded team. These semifinals were scheduled for April 21.[10] The winners would then meet in the league championship game on April 27 at a neutral site. Originally, the title game had been set for Sam Boyd Stadium near Las Vegas, Nevada, but was changed to Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas,[4] before the season was ended.

Players of the week

Statistical leaders

Records reflect statistics through the eight regular season games played by all teams.[19]

Officials

The league used the eight-official system, also seen in NCAA college football. There were six officiating crews, staffed with officials from FBS conferences.[20]

Referees[20]
No.NameFBS Conference
2 Reggie|Smith|nolink=1}} Big 12
9 Tra|Blake|nolink=1}} ACC
10 John|O’Neill|nolink=1}} Big Ten
19 James|Carter|nolink=1}} SEC
81 Brandon|Cruse|nolink=1}} Big 12
84 Jeff|Heaser|nolink=1}} ACC

The officiating crews included one former NFL official—Jimmy DeBell, a back judge on the Smith crew—and three former NFL players: Nate Jones (side judge, Cruse crew), Terry Killens (umpire, Blake crew), and Mike Morton (umpire, Cruse crew).[20]

Broadcasting

CBS Sports, Turner Sports and NFL Network served as the Alliance's broadcast partners for the 2019 season. The CBS Sports deal was announced at the time the league launched, while the Turner Sports and NFL Network contracts were announced less than two weeks before the season began.[21]
  • CBS Sports carried the two inaugural games (February 9) regionally via the CBS broadcast network, and was due to carry the championship game broadcast nationwide on the same network. CBS later added one conference championship game and one Week 9 regular season game to their schedule,[22] neither of which was played. CBS Sports Network carried a game of the week on Sunday afternoons.[10]
  • The Turner Sports contract included one regular season game (February 16) and a conference championship game on TNT, and a Saturday afternoon game of the week on Bleacher Report's live streaming service, B/R Live. The network had the option to change which service it broadcast its games on, with TNT adding three midseason Saturday afternoon games from B/R Live. B/R Live scheduled a Sunday afternoon game for Week 9 from CBS Sports Network as a result of CBS being scheduled to carry a Saturday afternoon game that week.[10] In Week 10, B/R Live was due to carry the league's one game of the season scheduled for a Friday.[23] But neither of those happened.
  • NFL Network carried the remainder of the league's games, a Saturday night game and a Sunday night game each week.

Each AAF team had a local radio partner, and Sirius XM Radio carried a game of the week package.[24]
