Player 54: Chasing the XFL Dream, the Peter Berg-directed 9-part docuseries will debut tomorrow on ESPN2, and Saturday on ABC before the league’s opening game between the Vegas Vipers and Arlington Renegades. The NFL season completed with the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory, it is time for the XFL and Usfl to try and assert themselves as the off-season alternative for fans who can’t get enough of football.
Player 54 is part of the lean in by the upstart football league’s exclusive broadcast partner, The Walt Disney Company and ESPN.
The series follows the creation of the League under new ownership – Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia are among those running the ball here — and highlights the development of its players and coaches throughout the entire season. The series will play up the aspirational nature of competitive football encapsulated by the league’s motto: where dreams meet opportunity.
