LOS ANGELES, CA (August 11, 2010) – Get ready to be drafted into the hysterically unrestrained world of fantasy football when “The League” Complete First Seasondebuts on Blu-ray Disc and DVD September 14 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Set against the backdrop of a fantasy football league, the hysterical new show provides a unique and heightened look at male-female relationships layered with beer drinking, biting put-downs, sexual innuendos and the occasional reference to Peyton Manning. Paul Scheer (“30 Rock”), Steven Rannazzisi (Paul Blart), Nick Kroll (I Love You, Man) and Mark Duplass (Humpday) lend their comedic talents to the loosely scripted series about friendship, marriage, parenting, and growing up…or refusing to grow up.

When six friends compete on the virtual gridiron, it’s a no-holds-barred, win-at-all-costs free-for-all full of deception, trickery and one-upmanship. Pete (Duplass), a slacker who has won the league the past four seasons, is determined to triumph once again even at the risk of his marriage. Arrogant yet paranoid, Ruxin (Kroll) would rather brush up on key fantasy stats than dote on his newborn, much to his wife’s chagrin. League commissioner Kevin (Rannazzisi) secretly has his wife - the ruthless, confident and vaginally talented Jenny (Katie Aselton) - run his team. Kevin’s younger brother, Taco (Jonathan Lajoie), is a part-time musician who writes inappropriate songs and a full-time stoner. Once a loser in high school, Andre (Scheer) is now a successful plastic surgeon and a just as unsuccessful fantasy league player. Though marched grudgingly into adulthood, the motley crew finds refuge from life’s tedium with immature behavior and the thrill of chasing victory.

“The League” Complete First Season Blu-ray Disc and DVD feature six extended episodes and loaded with uncensored original footage will be available for the suggested retail prices of $34.99 U.S. / $39.99 Canada and $29.98 U.S. / $37.98 Canada respectively. Prebook is August 18.
