Battle of the Network Stars is back! The classic sports show that pits TV stars against each other promises lots of fun this summer. Here’s what you need to watch it on TV and online.

Battle of the Network Stars has returned after a long time away from TV.

This is your chance to see your favorite stars from 14 networks compete against each other.

Here’s the official synopsis from ABC:

"“The ‘70s and ‘80s television pop-culture classic, Battle of the Network Stars (which premiered from ABC Sports in 1976 and continued for 13 years), will be revived when it returns to television on ABC. Battle of the Network Stars is a nostalgic throwback to the original series where TV celebrities blended athleticism with hilarious antics. The 10-episode summer event will pit teams of current and classic TV stars from multiple eras and different genres against one another in a variety of athletics games.”"

The original series first aired in 1976 and ran for 13 years. Now the classic show is back for 10 episodes this summer, and TV stars from a wide variety of shows, past and present, have signed on to appear. Over 100 stars from shows like Scandal, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Modern Family, Law & Order and How to Get Away with Murder have signed on, and they will compete in games like Tug of War and Dunk Tank.
