[2][3] By the end of the week, the AAF front office had confirmed the suspension of operations and allowed players to opt-out of their contracts to sign with other leagues.

[1] At the time the season ended, eight out of ten scheduled weeks had been played, and the Orlando Apollos, with a league best 7–1 record two games ahead of its nearest competitors, had clinched no less than a share of the regular season's best record, regardless of how the rest of the schedule would have played out.

Initially scheduled for Sam Boyd Stadium on the outskirts of Las Vegas, Nevada, the title game was moved to the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas,[5] before the league ceased operations.

All of the preseason scrimmage games were held January 27–28 at the Alamodome, in conjunction with the league's training camp.

Originally, the title game had been set for Sam Boyd Stadium near Las Vegas, Nevada announced October 23, 2018,[12] but was changed to Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas on March 20, 2019,[5] before the season was ended.

None of CBS Sports Network's broadcasts register in the Nielsen Ratings and thus viewership estimates for those games are not available.
