The San Antonio Commanders' game April 6 has been tabbed for a national broadcast on CBS, the league announced Thursday.

Previously scheduled to be shown at 3 p.m. on Bleacher Report Live, the elevated game will feature San Antonio hosting the Memphis Express for an 11 a.m. start in the Alamodome. The game will precede the broadcast of the NCAA Tournament's Final Four.

The league also announced Thursday that CBS will broadcast one of the Alliance's conference championship games on April 21.

"Our focus for season one has been continued growth on and off the field. The addition of two games to CBS is a result of strong fan engagement across all platforms that continues to increase week-on-week, and the quality of football being played during a time when the most popular sport in the U.S. has traditionally been on hiatus," AAF co-founder and CEO Charlie Ebersol said in a statement. "We look forward to reaching even more fans when the stakes are at its highest, as teams fight for a chance to be a part of history in the first-ever Alliance of American Football Championship."

San Antonio is 3-2 at the midpoint of the Alliance season, while Memphis is 1-4.

The Commanders' two home games have marked the league's two highest attendance totals this year, as the Alamodome hosted 27,857 fans on Feb. 9 and 29,176 on Feb. 17.
