FCF made its debut in February 2021, featuring four teams owned by some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment including Marshawn Lynch, Quavo, Richard Sherman, Austin Ekeler, Dalvin Cook, and Bob Menery. The league has redefined football for the digital age by combining the competitiveness of live sports, the engagement of fantasy sports, and the interactivity of video games into a live streamed, leaned-in fan experience. Season v1.0 saw FCF become the fastest growing live sports channel on Twitch with nearly 10 million total live views, and one of the top sports Apps in the Apple App Store. FCF has seen exponential viewership growth in Season v2.0, which debuted on April 16, 2022. Overall, Season v2.0’s opening week of action generated 2.5 million total live views across Twitch, NBCLX, DAZN and Fubo Sports Network, more than tripling the total live views from Season v1.0’s debut.
