ESPN viewers have long been ready for some football. Now they will be getting more of a chance to watch a different take on the sport.

ESPN and Women’s National Football Conference have expanded their rights deal with a new two-year pact that will keep the WNFC IX Cup Championship Game on ESPN2 and put the Disney-backed sports-media giant in the mix when it comes to marketing the professional women’s tackle-football league.
