Bossier City, LA — The North Louisiana Football Alliance (NLFA) is proud to announce a new media partnership with Shady Sports Network that will expand the league’s reach and provide fans with additional access to NLFA football throughout the 2026 season.

Through this agreement, Shady Sports Network will simulcast replays of NLFA games during the 2026 season, allowing fans, players, and supporters across the region to relive the action and stay connected with the league even after game day. The partnership marks an important step forward in the NLFA’s ongoing effort to increase visibility for its players and programs.

The replay broadcasts will feature selected games from the NLFA’s regular season and postseason, providing additional exposure for the league’s athletes, coaches, and teams while offering fans another opportunity to experience the excitement of Ark-La-Tex developmental football.

“This partnership with Shady Sports Network helps us continue building a platform for our athletes and our league,” said NLFA President Holland Witherspoon. “One of our goals has always been to create opportunities for players to be seen and recognized. Having our games replayed and shared with a wider audience helps showcase the talent we have here in the Ark-La-Tex.”

Shady Sports Network will begin airing replays of NLFA games shortly after each game weekend, giving fans a convenient way to catch up on matchups they may have missed while also providing players with additional film exposure.

The collaboration reflects the NLFA’s broader mission of developing players on and off the field while strengthening the region’s football community.
