XFL Announces ESPN, ABC Will Have Broadcasting Rights
The XFL announced an agreement on Tuesday that Walt Disney and ESPN will carry the league’s broadcast rights from 2023 to ’27.
All 43 games, that include regular-season matchups as well as two semifinal playoff games and a championship of each XFL season, will be aired and distributed across ABC, ESPN and FX.
In addition to serving as the league’s broadcast provider, the deal also includes game day content rights. The league, owned by Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia and Gerry Cardinale’s RedBird Capital Partners, plans to relaunch on Feb. 18, 2023, just days after Super Bowl LVII.
