February 2, 2026 – NFL Alumni Health (NFLAH), a subsidiary of the NFL Alumni Association, is dedicated to supporting former professional football players through accessible education, resources, community programs, and partnerships focused on long-term physical and mental well-being.
We are proud of our collaborations with leading researchers and organizations studying the health impacts of a career in professional football. These partnerships help deliver player-centered insights—on topics such as chronic pain management, mobility, joint health, cardiovascular resilience, pro-active brain health, sleep, and family wellness—directly to alumni in practical, actionable ways.
NFLAH operates independently and does not take positions on, endorse, or comment on the specific findings of any individual research studies or publications.
We encourage current and former players to utilize the robust resources provided by the NFL and NFLPA to identify and seek treatment when concerned about their health, including:
- NFL Life Line: 800-506-0078 (confidential 24/7 support)
- NFL Total Wellness resources
- Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 (24/7)
Together, as a community built on the strength of the game and the resilience of its players, we stand ready to support one another—because every legacy deserves to thrive, and every voice matters.
