"Getting a more consistent schedule across the country in terms of both day and time was an important next step in our growth and we are glad to be able to continue to grow our FSN relationship," IFL Commissioner Kurt Otto said via email. "This schedule allows fans to better plan their viewing schedule and to know that they can usually see IFL action on Friday night every week."
