New Arena League To Air On NFL Network

Might As Well

The NFL season may be over, but live football will return to NFL Network as soon as April.

NFL Network is set to sign a one-year deal to televise games from the new Arena Football 1 league beginning this April and the deal will have an option for a second season. NFL Network will air live, Friday night telecasts throughout the season, as well as the league’s championship game.

The AF1 replaces the old AFL, which folded after the 2008 season. In recent years, the AFL had television deals with ESPN/ABC (2007-08), NBC (2003-06) and OLN/Versus (2006).

The AF1 is expected to be rebranded as the AFL by the start of its inaugural season.
