USA Fencing Lands CNBC Deal for Monthly Broadcast Series “The Fencing Show”

A Historic Broadcast Moment

For the first time, fencing will have a consistent presence on national television thanks to USA Fencing’s new partnership with CNBC. Debuting on October 25, 2025 at 2:30 PM EST, The Fencing Show will run monthly on Saturday afternoons, reaching a broad audience that extends beyond the traditional fencing community. This deal marks a significant step in elevating the sport’s visibility on a mainstream platform.

Shining a Spotlight on Athletes

Each episode of The Fencing Show will highlight the full spectrum of the sport, from Olympic and Paralympic champions to rising youth talent. Viewers can expect fast-paced competition recaps, behind-the-scenes athlete features, and expert analysis that captures both the technical strategy and the emotional intensity of fencing. By showcasing familiar names alongside new faces, the series aims to deepen connections with fans while inspiring newcomers to pick up the foil, epee, or sabre.

Growing the Fencing Community

USA Fencing CEO Phil Andrews called the partnership a “game-changer” for the sport, noting that national television exposure provides both visibility and growth opportunities. Beyond inspiring future athletes, The Fencing Show also creates new avenues for sponsors and advertisers to engage with a unique and growing fan base. With monthly broadcasts locked in through July 2026, the series is poised to become a cornerstone of fencing’s expansion in the U.S.
