It appears the new XFL will have some competition when it comes to debut football leagues.

Much like the Vince McMahon’s football league, this league — called The Alliance of American Football — is being formed thanks to the help of several familiar faces in the world of professional football and television. The Alliance of American Football plans to launch immediately after the next Super Bowl and will air in the spring.

Former GM Bill Polian and former players Troy Polamalu, Hines Ward, and Jared Allen are all executives with the league with Dick Ebersol serving on the board of directors. Former NFL player Justin Tuck will also serve with the league as a player of engagement board of advisor.

The league plans to have eight teams but has not announced the location of any of the franchises at this time.

Here’s a statement from the league posted on its official website:

Led by some of the most respected football minds in the game, The Alliance of American Football is an eight-team, single-entity structured league driven by high-quality professional football and fueled by a dynamic Alliance between players, fans and the game. Fans will be able to stream Alliance matchups live via the free Alliance app while accessing integrated fantasy options with real rewards — for themselves and the players they are cheering on. Players will have state-of-the-art protection on the field and ample opportunities off it. The Alliance will provide players a comprehensive bonus system, post-football career planning as well as counseling and scholarship support for postsecondary education. Founded by TV and film producer Charlie Ebersol and Hall of Famer Bill Polian, The Alliance will begin a 12-week season kicking-off February 9, 2019 on CBS and culminating with the championship game the weekend of April 26-28, 2019.

According to John Ourand of Sports Business Daily, the league is tweaking some traditional football rules — including the elimination of kickoffs.

Teams will start on the 25-yard line after a score. In place of an onside kick, teams will get the ball on their own 35-yard line and have to gain at least 10 yards on one play to keep it. The league will have no extra points — all teams must attempt a two-point conversion. The league will have shorter play clocks and fewer commercial breaks in an effort to have games last no longer than two-and-a-half hours.

Ourand also notes that players will receive bonuses for wins, stats and fan engagement.
