X FACTOR Preview to Be Featured After NFL ON FOX, 9/21

An all-new extended preview of THE X FACTOR, the new competition series that gives viewers the opportunity to help choose the next global superstar or breakout music group, will debut following the NFL ON FOX late doubleheader match-ups this Sunday, Sept. 11 on FOX. The 8-minute preview will feature never-before-seen footage including an exclusive first look at the auditions from Los Angeles and Seattle, as well as an inside look at the drama, raw emotion and behind-the-scenes action of THE X FACTOR. Fans can get a double dose of the preview when it airs again later that evening during a special expanded FAMILY GUY (8:30-9:37 PM ET/PT).

Hosted by Steve Jones, THE X FACTOR will make its highly anticipated debut with a two-night series premiere event Wednesday, Sept. 21 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Thursday, Sept. 22 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Be there as THE X FACTOR judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid and Nicole Scherzinger begin their search for undiscovered talent 12 years old and over - both solo artists and vocal groups - who are worthy of the largest prize in television history: a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.
