Salina and Pueblo Deliver Statement Wins in NAL Week 3

CONOVER, NC – Week 3 of the National Arena League season featured two decisive matchups as teams continued to establish their identity early in the 2026 campaign.

The Salina Liberty delivered one of the most dominant performances of the young season, defeating the Omaha Beef60-22. Salina controlled the game from start to finish, showcasing a high-powered offense and disciplined defensive effort, including two interceptions for touchdowns to secure a key early-season victory.

The Pueblo Punishers continued their early season success with an impressive performance, earning a 49-19 win over the Dallas Bulls. Pueblo dictated the pace throughout the contest, using explosive plays and consistent execution to remain in control and build momentum moving forward.

Through three weeks of play, teams across the league are beginning to separate as contenders look to gain ground and others aim to regroup heading into the next slate of games.

As announced earlier today the league continues their momentum into a historic moment for the league as the first nationally broadcast NAL game on Scripps Sports Network will feature the Pueblo Punishers hosting the Sioux City Bandits, showcasing a battle of two undefeated teams on a national stage.
