Forward Madison FC games will stay on ESPN+ through 2022 following USL League One's announcement of a three-year rights agreement with the national network on Tuesday. The new deal will allow FMFC fans to continue watching games on ESPN's online streaming service, which is currently broadcasting the Flamingos' inaugural USL League One season.
"We are thrilled to continue with ESPN and ESPN+," said USL Executive Vice President Court Jeske. "USL is an organization that aims to put the fans first and we know that supporters across the country will be very pleased with this new three-year agreement and the exposure it brings."
USL will continue to be featured among an extensive portfolio of domestic and international soccer on ESPN+, which includes Major League Soccer, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Italy's Serie A, the English F.A. Cup, the English Football League and UEFA 2020 European Championship qualifiers. ESPN platforms are airing more than 750 regular season contests across the USL Championship and USL League One in 2019.
Games will continue to be produced by USL Productions, which handles production, broadcast and distribution in partnership with VISTA Worldlink in Florida.
Forward Madison currently sits in third place in its inaugural USL League One season, occupying a playoff spot with six matches to play. The Flamingos host Greenville Triumph SC this Wednesday during the team's "Office Night," which will feature a special appearance by actor Leslie David Baker, who played Stanley on the NBC show "The Office."
