The second season of United Football League season will feature five teams playing eight games each over a 10-week span beginning Sat., Sept 18. The 2010 United Football League season broadcast available on live on www.UFL-Football.com.
The inaugural season of the United Football League in 2009 featured 4 teams playing 6 games each and both began and ended at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. Sam Boyd Stadium was also the site of the 2009 UFL Championship Game on November 27, a game that saw the Locomotives defeat the previously unbeaten Florida Tuskers 20–17 in overtime.
The New England Sports Network (NESN) will join last year broadcasters VERSUS and HDNet delivering two of the Hartford Colonials’ home games during the upcoming fall season.
VERSUS will feature eight regular season UFL games on Saturdays and one Thursday evening, beginning with the Sacramento Mountain Lions’ first home game against the Florida Tuskers at Hornet Stadium in Week 2 on Saturday, September 25 at 8pm PST/11pm EST.
VERSUS will also broadcast the UFL Championship Game on the Thanksgiving holiday Friday, November 26 at 3pm between the top two teams in the final regular season standings at a venue to be determined.
Jeff Goldberg, Vice President of Programming for the network said “We look forward to the second year of the UFL on VERSUS. Through our telecasts, these five teams will have national exposure on the fastest growing sports cable network in the country.”
UFL Commissioner Michael Huyghue said “We continue to make progress in bringing our games to a wider television audience through three established and innovative broadcaster partners. VERSUS and HDNet were pioneers in introducing our quality product to the nation’s sports fans in 2009 and we are delighted to partner with them again and to also welcome another strong broadcasting ally in NESN.”
HDNet will broadcast ten regular season games, including the 2009 UFL Championship Game rematch between the Las Vegas Locos and Florida Tuskers at Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday, September 18 at 8pm PST / 11pm EST. The much-anticipated clash moves back 24 hours from the original UFL schedule.
Mark Cuban, HDNet Chairman said “The game is fun, it’s exciting and the talent level is off the charts and we want to be a part of it. We believe last year was just the beginning and the best is yet to come from the UFL. We are going to broadcast games in the highest quality nationwide and our priority is to grow viewership, grow the fan base and really help the UFL succeed.”
HDNet will also televise the debut of the expansion franchise Omaha Nighthawks at Rosenblatt Stadium against the Hartford Colonials at 7pm on Friday, September 24 at 7pm CST / 8pm EST.
HDNet is the independent network with unique and thought provoking content that is delivered in true high definition and is available on AT&T, Charter Communications, Comcast, DIRECTV, Dish Network, Insight, and Verizon FiOs.
The UFL 2010 season-opening game will now be played in Hartford, CT, when the New England Sports Network (NESN) cameras capture the hometown Colonials at home to the Sacramento Mountain Lions at 2.30pm EST on Saturday, September 18.
NESN is delivered to more than four million homes throughout the six-state New England region and nationally via DirecTV and Dish Network. The definitive home for New England sports programming; NESN has been the top rated regional sports network in the country for six consecutive years.
