The International Fight League released their expanded television schedule today for their shows on Fox Sports Net (FSN). Weekly, Friday night shows begin this Friday with the January 19th event in Oakland between the Condors and the Tiger Sharks. The IFL is also going to be airing their “IFL Battleground” series on MyNetworkTV beginning March 12.
Start times for the FSN shows will be 11pm in most markets but you can check the exact show times at the IFL website. The FSN shows will follow the same order as the IFL season fight cards through the first third of the season until the show at Mohegan Sun Arena on April 13. That fight card will be shown the same-night starting at 11pm. Below is a section of the full press release from the IFL.
The 22 hours of original programming scheduled on FSN this year represents nearly 70% more than the 13 hours shown in 2006, when the network aired three hours of coverage of the IFL Legends Championship in May and June and followed up with 10 hours of IFL World Team Championship action, September through December.
The FSN coverage is in addition to the 22, two-hour episodes of “International Fight League Battleground,†to be seen on over-the-air MyNetworkTV nationwide beginning on March 12.
In all, 66 hours of original IFL programming is scheduled to run on the two networks, which together reach more than 95% of U.S. television households.
The schedule of matchups on each FSN debut date is as follows through April:
February 23, Condors vs. Tiger Sharks (contested in Oakland, Calif., Jan. 19)
March 2, Lions vs. Razorclaws (Oakland, Jan. 19)
March 9, Scorpions vs. Sabres (Houston, Feb. 2)
March 16, Anacondas vs. Silverbacks (Houston, Feb. 2)
March 23, Dragons vs. Wolfpack (Atlanta, Feb. 23)
March 30, Pitbulls vs. Red Bears (Atlanta, Feb. 23)
April 6, Condors vs. Sabres (Los Angeles, March 17)
April 13, Wolfpack vs. Pitbulls (Uncasville, Conn., April 13 same day show)
April 20, Anacondas vs. Razorclaws (Los Angeles, March 17)
April 27, Dragons vs. Scorpions (Uncasville, April 13 show)
I’ll personally be at the show at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut in April, hopefully with a photo and/or press pass. If any of you are going to be at the April 13 event, let me know and maybe we can hook up at the show.
