FS1 will be the dominant channel in LIV Golf’s U.S. new media-rights deal with Fox Sports, which has rolled out its full TV coverage plan for the 14-event 2025 season that tees off Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The cable channel will have close to double the number of tournament hours that Fox’s main broadcast network will have. In total, Fox Sports will air nearly 210 hours of LIV action this year.
Here’s the breakdown:
- FS1: 84.5 hours
- FS2: 51 hours
- Fox: 46 hours
- Fox Sports app: 22 hours
- Fox Business Network: 5 hours
FS1’s share equates to roughly 40% of LIV’s broadcast inventory, with FS2 taking 24%, and Fox 22%. The Fox Sports app will stream all LIV coverage, and its exclusive slots are all early-round windows.
The lone broadcast scheduled to air on Fox Business Network is the second round of LIV’s Washington, D.C., event on June 7. The main Fox channel will carry the Belmont Stakes that day. (Last year, there was a gambling-focused alternate feed on FS1.)
Winners will largely be crowned on FS1, too, as the channel will air the conclusion of eight final rounds; Fox will carry four, including Miami (the first U.S. event of the season) and the final two tournaments of the year. Two final rounds will conclude on FS2.
Going for the Green
This new deal gives LIV its best exposure yet on U.S. airwaves, as Fox takes over for The CW, which was LIV’s TV partner for the past two seasons. Its inaugural season was broadcast for free on YouTube.
In addition to live tournament coverage, Fox Sports platforms will broadcast a weekly hour-long recap show with highlights and major storylines. LIV is still producing the broadcasts and using largely the same announcing team from last season.
Financials were not disclosed, but Fox is not paying a large rights fee, and ad revenue-sharing is likely involved in the deal.
