Neo Studios partners with X League to document lives of women tackle footballers

Women’s American football league the X League

Sports-focused prodco Neo Studios has partnered with the Extreme Football League (X League) in the US to make an all-access documentary series following the women who play the sport.

The show will follow X League athletes on and off the gridiron as they attempt to balance their football careers with their personal lives, including working in full-time jobs, serving in the armed forces and raising children.

Aiming to introduce global audiences to the world of all-female, tackle football in the US, it will feature Sam Gordon, X League managing partner and the first female recipient of an NFL Honors Award.

The docuseries will film the inaugural season of X League, the first-ever commercial women’s football league, and provide access to the inner workings of the league, including the challenges the front office must overcome to prove its viability and potential.

Neo Studios, part of Aser Ventures, has offices in LA, London, New York, Brussels and Milan and has previously produced series such as Legacy: In The Shadow of Greatness, Life After, Academy Dreams: Leeds United and Take us Home: Leeds United.
