In July 2004, FOXsports.com and Microsoft began execution of a multi-year agreement, which called for FOXSports.com to become the exclusive sports provider for Microsoft’s MSN.com portal, replacing ESPN.com.[3] As a result of the agreement, the site is often referred to as FOXSports.com on MSN.
On December 17, 2009 FOXSports.com was briefly replaced on the MSN main page by NBCSports.com during a cosmetic upgrade.
