The BIG3’s brand of three-on-three basketball (which, with their particular tweaks, they’re now calling “FIREBALL3”) aired mostly on FS1 (on a delay) in its first year in 2017, then across Fox and FS1 to larger viewership in 2018, and then exclusively on CBS and CBS Sports Network in 2019. The league canceled its 2020 season last May amidst the COVID-19 pandemic (after plans for a quarantine tournament fell through), but at that time, they announced that CBS would remain a partner for 2021. That came to pass back in April, with the league announcing a July 10 season start and a full schedule then.
