So, I was trying to catch a USFL game the other day, and I just couldn’t find it on my local channels. It was a real head-scratcher, you know? I mean, I usually catch most of the games on the local stations, but not this time.

First thing I did was grab my remote and start flipping through the channels. Nothing. I checked all the usual suspects, the ones that normally broadcast sports, but the USFL game was nowhere to be found. I even checked the TV guide, you know, the one built into the TV, just in case I was missing something obvious, but nope, nothing there either.
Then I thought, “Okay, maybe it’s just me. Maybe my TV is acting up.” So, I restarted my cable box, you know, the good old unplug-it-and-plug-it-back-in trick. I waited a few minutes, hoping that would do the trick, but still nothing. The game was still not showing up on my local channels.
Next, I pulled out my phone and started searching online. I figured maybe there was some kind of announcement or something, some change in the schedule that I didn’t know about. I found out that the USFL games are broadcasted on FOX, NBC, USA Network, and FS1. That’s when I realized, “Oh, maybe it’s on one of those networks then.”
I went back to my TV and started looking for those channels. I found FS1, and there it was, the USFL game! Turns out, I just needed to know which specific network was showing the game. It wasn’t on my usual local channels because it was being broadcasted on a national sports network.
Here’s a little breakdown of what I found out:
- FOX: I found the games are available to stream on Fox Sports Go.
- NBC: This is one of the official broadcast partners.
- USA Network: This one also shows the games.
- FS1: That’s where I finally found the game I was looking for.
So, yeah, it wasn’t on my local channels because the USFL has deals with these specific networks to broadcast their games. It was a bit of a runaround, but I figured it out in the end. If you’re ever trying to find a USFL game, just remember to check these networks first, and you should be good to go. No more flipping through channels endlessly like I did!
