In a statement posted on X, Big3 stated: “Catch us live on X and CBS all summer long! We’re partnering with X to bring live games, brand-new content, and unprecedented access to our fans around the world.”

The deal is paired with Big3’s deal extension last November with national network CBS Sports for the fifth consecutive season.

CBS will still be Big3’s primary broadcaster for the 2024 season, showing over 20 regular season games, the playoffs, the championship game, and the all-star and celebrity games.

The 2024 Big3 season is set to run from June 15 until August 18, following ratings and attendance increases in its sixth season.

X also has a deal in place to amplify coverage of the upcoming Olympics and Paralympics in Paris this year on NBCUniversal, the US rights-holder.
