Fox Sports Live (abbreviated as FSL or FSLive, styled as Fox Sports Live with Jay and Dan) was an American sports news television program that debuted on Fox Sports 1 on August 17, 2013, and served as the channel's flagship sportscast of record. The half-hour-long nightly program focused on highlights and analysis of the day's major sporting events and previews of upcoming events, news on professional and college sports, commentary, and feature stories in the style of a late-night talk show. The program was broadcast from the Fox Network Center in Los Angeles, California. The program was canceled on February 23, 2017.
The first editions of Fox Sports Live aired most evenings starting at either 10:30 or 11:00 p.m. – depending on when a scheduled sporting event on FS1 concludes – and running until 2:00 a.m. Eastern Time. On some nights, the program would begin at 9:30 p.m. Eastern or earlier (such as on February 14, 2015, the Saturday before the 2015 Daytona 500, when a special daytime edition of FSL titled "Drive to the 500" aired at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time). From the program's inception until July 2015, Fox Sports 1 aired short 90-second capsules known as the Fox Sports Live Update at various times in-between commercial breaks; these update segments were alternately branded as America's Pregame Update (titled after the sports preview show America's Pregame, which itself was cancelled by the network in September 2015) – providing updates of certain stories or reports on headlines that broke since the previous night's initial Fox Sports Live broadcast – during updates aired on weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Eastern.
Until the end of the first run after Super Bowl 50, the program was primarily anchored by Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole on Tuesday through Saturday evenings, and by Ryan Field on Sundays and Mondays. The program also featured a panel of rotating talent with Charissa Thompson serving as moderator and segment host, helming a standalone show at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time, Fox Sports Live: Countdown, on nights when FS1 is not airing a major sports event (during the college football season, the Friday edition of Countdown is known as Fox Sports Live: Countdown to Kickoff).
