Get ready for kickoff! Super Bowl LVIII will have something for everyone when the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers face off in Las Vegas on Sunday, Feb. 11. Predictions have been made, party spreads prepared, and people have busted out their math skills to calculate whether a certain pop star can make it to kickoff after performing halfway around the world the day before. Speaking of musical talent, Usher will headline the halftime show for the first time since joining the Black Eyed Peas on stage at the 2011 game. Plus, there’s the fun of checking out all the star-studded ads — and having an excuse to eat every type of dip your heart desires (not that you need one, it’s just convenient). 

But if the big game — and all the footage and analysis you’ll get on Inside the NFL — still isn’t enough football for you, we’ve got you covered. For football fans of all varieties, here’s a list of gridiron-centric series and films you can watch right now.  

Quarterback

All American

With multiple shootouts, over-the-top drama, an exceptionally engaging  storyline partially based on true events, All American plays out like a teen soap version of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The series follows Spencer James (Daniel Ezra), a South Central Los Angeles football star who unwillingly transfers from Crenshaw High School to a school in Beverly Hills. James struggles to acclimate to his new life while also pursuing his college football dreams. All American is a soap dressed as a high school sports drama, so if you’re more into Riverdale than football, this is a solid compromise.
