"Last year, we provided XFL fans with unparalleled, on-field access to players, coaches, and league officials. With the UFL kickoff season, we will further build upon that across our strong schedule, with games on ABC, ESPN, and every game on ESPN+, in addition to coverage across our social and digital platforms."

The following weekend, ESPN will bring fans three games, including Week 2 matchups for both the defending XFL Champion Arlington Renegades, in primetime on ABC, and USFL Champion Birmingham Stallions.
