LIVESTREAM Italy: Ferrara Aquile @ Bologna Warriors, Feb. 28, 18:00 CET (6 pm, 12 noon ET)

The Bologna Warriors begin their rebuild against the Ferrara Aquile as the Italian Football League kicks off its 2026 season with both teams aiming to start on a positive note.

Warriors seek fresh start
Bologna hopes new quarterback Rieger Sayre can spark an offense that managed only 70 points all last season. With an upgraded home stadium providing renewed energy, the Warriors look to move past a difficult 2025 campaign where their only wins came against winless Bergamo.

Aquile building momentum
Ferrara enters with confidence after winning four of their final six games in 2025. The additions of quarterback Ryan Kraft and safety Zach Wright strengthen both sides of the ball as they target playoff contention in the single-conference format.

This matchup features two teams heading in different directions. Can Bologna’s new offensive pieces overcome Ferrara’s late-season momentum in 2025, or will the Aquile’s reinforcements prove too much for the rebuilding Warriors? The season opener could set the tone for both clubs’ 2026 aspirations.
