COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Fencing today announced a deal with CNBC to air a monthly fencing broadcast program “The Fencing Show” starting in October 2025. 

USA Fencing’s program, which will debut on October 25 at 2:30pm EST, will mark the first time a national TV audience will see fencing showcased on Saturday afternoons throughout the season on CNBC, the recognized world leader in business news. 

“The Fencing Show” will shine a spotlight on the sport of fencing like never before, delivering unprecedented exposure for athletes and the fencing community. Each monthly episode will highlight athletes at all levels of the sport — from decorated Olympians and Paralympians to up-and-coming youth fencers — demonstrating the breadth and inclusivity of the fencing world. 

Viewers can expect exciting competition recaps, personal athlete stories, and expert commentary that bring the tactics and drama of fencing to life for both longtime fans and new audiences. By featuring both household names and rising stars, the series aims to inspire the next generation of fencers and engage a broader fan base across the country. 

“We are thrilled to bring the excitement of fencing to a national television audience for the first time in our history,” said Phil Andrews, CEO of USA Fencing. “This deal with CNBC is a game-changer for our sport, allowing us to showcase our Olympians, Paralympians and young talent to new viewers. It’s a historic opportunity to grow the fencing community and inspire newcomers by putting our sport on a major network.” 

In addition to elevating the sport’s profile, “The Fencing Show” creates new opportunities for sponsors and advertisers to connect with the fencing audience. USA Fencing will have advertising and sponsorship inventory available during these broadcasts.
