The XFL playoffs start tomorrow night, with the Houston Roughnecks hosting the Arlington Renegades. The league has made a subtle programming shift that should help improve viewership.
The league has moved the game from ESPN2 to ESPN, with the final rounds NFL draft as the lead-in.
The move apparently became an option due to the early conclusion of whichever NBA playoff series would have had a game on ESPN at the time.
On Sunday, the D.C. Defenders host the Seattle Sea Dragons on ESPN at 3:00 p.m. ET.
The XFL playoff game on Saturday night will compete directly with a USFL regular-season game on Fox, between the Memphis Showboats and the Houston Gamblers.
