Hallmark delivers all kinds of content across Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies& Mysteries.
Summer is unofficially over, which means it's time to Fall Into Love on Hallmark Channel, and Fourth Down and Love merges two of America's favorite fall pastimes -- Hallmark movies and football.
It seems like the perfect time to rank all of Hallmark's sports-related content, while offering you a sneak peek into Fourth Down and Love.
Given how much Hallmark content features pumpkin patches, Christmas tree lots, bakeries, and other small-town fare, it might not surprise you that there aren't many sports-related movies from our favorite networks.
That makes this endeavor much easier from my perspective, and it ensures that if you've missed any or all of the movies, you can watch them without much effort. Let's get started!

Kristoffer Polaha was preparing for his latest Hallmark rom-com before he even got the role. In A Winning Team, premiering on Saturday, March 18, he plays a coach who clashes with a professional soccer player, Emily (Nadia Hatta), who accidentally injures him then steps in to help lead the team (including her niece) to the playoffs. And, of course, along the way they just (will) find love. Polaha previews the film, including why it came at the perfect time. For all the Hallmark movies you’ve done, there aren’t as many non-Christmas rom-coms on the list as I expected. What drew you to this one? Kristoffer Polaha: Honestly, it was the timing. It was perfect timing for me to get to work. And you’re right, I haven’t done a lot of non-Christmas movies other than the mysteries. I think it was Dater’s Handbook and Pearl in Paradise, right?...
