Welcome to the Continuum Collective

The Next 100 Years of Sports History

A living, collaborative alternate fantasy of sports history, built by fans who love to create, write, and explore the "what ifs" of the games we love. We're building a fully interconnected sports universe that spans 100 years of stories, from 2025 through 2125.

The teams you know remain — but everything else is rewritten. No prior athletes. No existing stats. A complete reset where every player, championship, and legend starts from scratch.

5 LEAGUES	100 YEARS	∞ STORIES

The Five Arenas

⚾ MLB Continuum

The Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, and all 30 teams start fresh. Track baseball's rebirth, expansion, and potential relocations. Where history bends, but stats still matter.

🏈 NFL Continuum

The Cowboys, Packers, and Patriots have new dynasties to build. Football rewritten with new rules, strategies, and survival. Where fumbles matter and glory fades fast.

🏀 NBA Continuum

The Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls await their next era. The hardwood's alternate timeline where eras clash and rivalries reignite. Redefine the modern game.

🏒 NHL Continuum

The Canadiens, Maple Leafs, and Original Six begin anew. The ice endures with new records, reformed rivalries, and global expansion into uncharted territory.

🎓 NCAA Men's Basketball Continuum

Duke, UNC, Kansas — all the blue bloods get new stories. March never ends in a collegiate world without NIL, where loyalty and legacy shape programs for generations.

This is a work of fiction. All athletes, statistics, and events are entirely imaginary.

Team names and league structures remain as they exist in reality — everything else is rewritten.
