The 2023 XFL season will feature a combined 43 games throughout the regular season and playoffs — including several games that will be carried on the FX Network.
Considering that Walt Disney bought 21st Century Fox in May 2019, that means the FX Network is now part of the Disney lineup alongside the ABC family of networks (ABC, ESPN and ESPN2). That said, the addition of live sporting events to FX Network is only a recent development, and may warrant channel searches for viewers who don't typically watch it.
If football fans want to watch the full 2023 XFL slate, they'll need to know where to watch FX, which carries 15 games this season — more than any other individual channel that will carry league games. ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 will combine for 29 games this season.
With that, The Sporting News has everything you need to find FX for the 2023 XFL season:
