History

On 27 November 2015, the Australian Rugby League Commission announced that Fox Sports had secured the rights to air all National Rugby League games excluding the NRL Grand Final (which continues to be aired on Nine Network) live for the 2018-22 seasons.[2] Additionally, it was announced that the current rights agreement had been altered to allow Fox Sports to also have the live rights for all games excluding the Grand Final for the 2016 and 2017 seasons,[3] however, a dedicated yet-to-be-named NRL channel to showcase these rights would not launch until the 2017 season.[2]

In February 2017 it was announced the new channel would be called Fox League and would officially launch on 27 February 2017.[4] Ultimately, Fox League replaced Fox Sports 2 on channel 502.[5][6]

In 2017, the NRL preliminary finals had 418,000 and 407,000 viewers.[7] In 2020, Fox League began carried in Canada on the pay streaming service DAZN.
