USA Sports
USA Sports was the branding used for broadcasts of sporting events by the cable channel USA Network. The network's history with sports dates back to its forerunner, the Madison Square Garden Network, and in the past has included coverage of the major professional leagues, college football, golf (including the Masters Tournament and Ryder Cup) and tennis. After the formation of NBC Universal in 2004, which saw General Electric's NBC take a majority stake in Vivendi Universal's U.S. operations (including USA Network), USA Sports was dissolved, and NBC Sports assumed production duties for its remaining sports properties. It was also incorporated into NBC's coverage of the Olympic Games.

During this time NBC Sports properties generally only aired on USA in special cases, such as during the Olympics, Stanley Cup Playoffs (until 2021) or the final week of the English Premier League season. On January 22, 2021, an internal memo sent by NBC Sports president Pete Bevacqua announced that NBCSN would cease operations by the end of the year, and that USA Network would begin "carrying and/or simulcasting certain NBC Sports programming," including the Stanley Cup Playoffs (until 2021), and NASCAR races, before NBCSN's shutdown.
