NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fall Experimental Football League (FXFL) and ESPN today announced an agreement to deliver the FXFL's inaugural season through ESPN3, ESPN's live multi-screen sports network. The agreement will provide national coverage of the League on ESPN3 across screens through an affiliated video or internet provider.

"ESPN is the gold standard when it comes to delivering high-quality sports broadcasting, and we are thrilled to be able to participate with ESPN3," said FXFL Commissioner Brian Woods. "The ability to stream the League's games via the Internet will provide FXFL fans with an opportunity to see out-of-market games, and ultimately showcase our players, coaches and referees as the next generation of professional talent." In a recent segment on ESPN's television and radio simulcast "Mike & Mike" show, co-host Mike Golic said "There needs to be a minor league in football. Not a competing league, not one that plays a different kind of football, one that essentially is a feeder league to the NFL."

The following schedule lists the games to be carried on ESPN3 as of today:

Wednesday, October 8th 
Boston at Omaha - 08:00pm

Wednesday, October 15th 
Boston at Brooklyn - 7:30pm

Friday, October 24th
Omaha at Brooklyn - 7:30pm

Friday, October 31th 
Brooklyn at Boston - 07:30pm

Wednesday, November 5th
Boston at Omaha - 8pm

Wednesday, November 12th

NESN, NESN National, SNY, Cox Sports, Cox San Diego, Altitude, Tuff TV, Soul of the South, Untamed TV and YooToo will also participate in the inaugural season of the FXFL, and the League is in discussion with several additional networks to round out its national coverage.
