Sports Byline USA is a national sports radio network based in the United States. "Sports Byline USA" is also the name of the flagship program on the network. It was launched on October 24, 1988. Sports Byline USA is located in San Francisco, California. Nationally, the network's programming is heard on numerous radio stations, Sirius Satellite Radio channel 122, and on CRN Digital Talk Radio Networks channel 2. The station is also available on several international stations and is the main sports programming of the Armed Forces Radio Network.

Ron Barr, the creator of the show, wanted to give sports fans across the nation the chance to call in and talk to their favorite athletes. He also allows the listeners to call in and express their view on major issues in the sports world. Sports Byline USA's excellence is reflected in its Chairman/Host, Ron Barr, and its limited partnership group. Included in the group are 20-time Wimbledon Champion Billie Jean King, former NFL running back Darrin Nelson, super sports attorney Leigh Steinberg and other successful business professionals. Bill Walsh, the Hall of Fame and 3-time Super Bowl winning coach, was on the Sports Byline USA Partnership Advisory Board of Directors.

Sports Byline USA was to become the official radio distributor of the All American Football League for its inaugural season, the first time the network acquired rights to live play-by-play. However, the league postponed its launch until 2009.
