NFL Network to Televise More Live Football this Spring
The NFL has announced partnerships with the Arena Football League and Overtime's football league to broadcast live games on NFL Network this spring.
Beginning in April, NFL Network will televise more than 30 AFL regular season games and select matchups from Overtime's OT7's regular season and championship weekend.
“The Arena Football League and Overtime's OT7 provide yet another opportunity for coaches, players and officials to develop their skills and showcase their talent to the growing football fanbase," said Troy Vincent, Sr., NFL executive vice president of football operations. “This expanded coverage further underscores the many avenues available in the sport of football."
Fans can stream NFL Network's broadcast of AFL and OT7 games with NFL+, the league's direct-to-consumer offering, which is available through NFL.com and the NFL app, and on an authenticated basis through NFL Network distributors' apps and sites, and NFL platforms.
NFL Network's schedule of live AFL games begins on Saturday, April 27 following live coverage of the 2024 NFL Draft with the Albany Firebirds hosting the Orlando Predators at 8 p.m. ET and features more than 30 regular season games. The 2024 AFL season will feature 16 teams playing 80 regular season games.
Live coverage of OT7's regular season on NFL Network begins Saturday, April 6 and continues through May 5. OT7 is a fast-paced league that spotlights some of the best high school football players in the country. The schedule features a five-week schedule with 30 teams playing more than 200 games, culminating with championship weekend June 6 – 9 in Tampa.
The partnerships are part of NFL Network's continued focus to broadcast live football, adding to the network's existing coverage of regular season college football games, collegiate all-star games such as the Reese's Senior Bowl, East-West Shrine Bowl and HBCU Legacy Bowl, and high school all-star games such as the Polynesian Bowl.
