Big-time college football is coming to FX this fall, as the network has agreed to carry a slate of at least 13 Big 12, Conference USA and Pac-12 games.
The package of Saturday NCAA football games will be culled from existing rights deals between Fox Sports and the three conferences. FX games are expected to air in the late afternoon and prime time windows.
All told, Fox Sports will broadcast nearly 200 games across the Fox broadcast network and its regional sports networks, as well as on Fox College Sports and FX.
While FX had a 10-year history of hosting high-profile sports franchises, carrying college football in the late ‘90s, Major League Baseball in 2001 and Nascar action between 2001 and 2006, the network hasn’t aired a live contest in five years.
