NBC Sports broadcasted USFL games in its first two seasons since its resurrection, but that won’t continue in 2024.
As the two leagues prepare to merge, the new season won’t begin until March 30th. Due to pre-existing contracts for PGA Tour and other golf events, the network wasn’t able to commit to broadcasting the spring football league.
“We enjoyed our relationship with the USFL and Fox, but the new earlier schedule made it impossible for us to continue,” NBC Sports Executive Vice President of Communications Greg Hughes told Sports Business Journal. “We wish them success with the new league and their new partners.”
With the departure of NBC Sports, ESPN and FOX Sports will be the two television partners for the league.
