PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA. — Exactly two years agoRBR+TVBR shared the news that the golf league backed by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) had signed a multi-year agreement with Nexstar Media Group that made The CW its home for 2023 and 2024.


That relationship has ended, and LIV Golf telecasts are heading to FOX.

FOX Sports and LIV Golf revealed their fresh multi-year media rights agreement on Thursday, with live coverage of LIV Golf League competition delivered to viewers beginning in February, which marks the start of LIV Golf’s third official League season.

“More than half” of LIV Golf’s schedule will air on the FOX television network or on its FS1 sports channel. Select rounds will air on FS2, FOX Business Network and the FOX Sports App. All LIV Golf coverage will also be streamed on the FOX Sports App and to LIV Golf+ app subscribers.

Commenting on the shift from The CW to FOX, LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said, “We are thrilled to partner with FOX Sports, one of the preeminent broadcast networks in the world. LIV Golf is getting bigger and bolder, and this relationship signals the next phase of growth as our League joins the company of the nation’s premier sports leagues and conferences. I want to thank the FOX Sports team who share our vision for the future of golf, a new model that is redefining how the sport is experienced. LIV Golf is drawing a younger, more active and tech-savvy fan base, and as our players and teams prepare for LIV Golf’s biggest season yet, this agreement will take our broadcast to new heights.”

Jordan Bazant, Executive Vice President for FOX Sports, added, “The addition of LIV Golf is a natural fit for FOX Sports’ prominent slate of big events, world-class names and premium sports coverage.”
