The film needed its own Davis and Rozelle to have their debate as an active conversation, and not have their issue played out in third person by those who knew them.
The film tracks Davis' rough relationship with the league, which began as his ascent to become the commissioner of the American Football League — the league where he also served as owner and coach of the Raiders. And once the Raiders made it to the NFL, Davis would win a lawsuit against Rozelle, to move the team from Oakland to Los Angeles in the 1980s.

In the US, Al Davis vs. The NFL is broadcast on ESPN, as it's one of the network's 30 for 30 films. ESPN is on most cable packages, but it's on two of our favorite streaming services (fuboTV and Sling TV) if you've cut the cord.
Al Davis vs. The NFL starts at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, February 4.
