When Sunday Night Baseball moved from ESPN to NBC this year, it left a gap in ESPN\u2019s lineup that had provided consistent Sunday-night programming for much of the year. In its place, the worldwide leader in sports unveiled a theme of Women\u2019s Sports Sundays.<\/p>\n
And even though the calendar is shifting from summer to fall, Women\u2019s Sports Sundays aren\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n
Throughout the spring and summer, ESPN has\u00a0used Sunday nights to spotlight women\u2019s sports,<\/a> including the WNBA, NWSL, and AUSL.<\/p>\n This fall, ESPN will air a mix of collegiate sports, the new women\u2019s TGL series, and even a boxing matchup. It will also feature playoff action from the WNBA and NWSL.<\/p>\n \u201cBeginning Sunday, Sept. 13, 11 consecutive weeks of women\u2019s sports programming will air live on ESPN and the ESPN App with an applicable ESPN subscription. Social coverage will be led by espnW, the leading women\u2019s sports and culture brand on social media, generating more total engagements and reaching more followers than any other brand in the space,\u201d the ESPN announcement<\/a> states.<\/p>\n However, college volleyball will carry most of the fall lineup. Ten games are scheduled to be a part of the Women\u2019s Sports Sundays franchise, beginning with the championship game of the Paradise Invitational on September 13 and running through the NCAA Volleyball Selection Special on November 29. Thankfully, all of those games should be indoors and won\u2019t run into the issues that we saw at Wrigley Field this past weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n
