New USFL Debuts Saturday in Historic Primetime Simulcast on FOX and NBC

LOS ANGELES - Today, FOX Sports announces its complete 2022 USFL broadcast team, led by Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Curt Menefee alongside analyst Joel Klatt, the network's longtime lead college football analyst.

Play-by-play announcer Kevin Kugler and analyst Mark Sanchez also contribute to FOX Sports' USFL coverage. Analyst Brock Huard also weighs in from the sidelines in select USFL matchups.

Menefee is best known for his hosting work on FOX NFL SUNDAY, television's most-watched NFL pregame show for 28 years. Klatt is FOX Sports' go-to college football expert, calling the network's top games on BIG NOON SATURDAY, the most-watched regular season college football time slot across any network.

Kugler provides play-by-play for a myriad of FOX Sports properties, including the NFL, MLB and college basketball. A veteran NFL quarterback, Sanchez transitioned to the broadcast booth in 2019 and joined FOX Sports last year as an NFL analyst. The duo was paired in the booth for the 2021-22 NFL on FOX season. Huard, an NFL veteran with extensive broadcast experience, has served as an NFL and college football analyst for FOX Sports since 2019.

The new USFL kicks off with the Generals taking on the Stallions this Saturday, April 16 at 7:30 PM ET from Birmingham, AL. The inaugural game will air in a special simulcast on FOX and NBC, making it the first scheduled event to air on competing broadcast networks since Super Bowl I in 1967.
