The newly-formed United Football League will kick off its 2024 campaign on Saturday, March 30 with a doubleheader pitting former USFL and XFL teams against each other.

The ESPN trio of Get Up, First Take, and The Pat McAfee Show all recorded their most-watched months in Jan. 2024.

"I've certainly had a unique vision and perspective of the game for 23 years, and hopefully, I just can provide some insight to the fans who love the game."

The matchup between the Vegas Golden Knights and New York Rangers averaged 569,000 total viewers on Friday night, which is up 46% compared to last year’s NHL on ESPN average.

Set against the backdrop of Super Bowl LVIII taking place in Las Vegas, the OTL series will explore the shifting landscape of sports wagering since the 2018 Supreme Court decision that paved the way for its widespread legalization.

"We’re really hopeful this is not only going to be a positive weekend for the NHL in-arena, but outside the arena and on television."

"They don’t need to remember what I said because I’m there to make them shine, and that will be what I hope people would say about me."

"This strategic content initiative provides our ESPN podcasts with a tremendous opportunity for continued growth and audience expansion, while simultaneously lending compelling content to our ESPN2 television lineup."

ESPN's top broadcast team of Mike Breen and Doris Burke will not have a third person join them and will run as a duo.
