INDIANAPOLIS (Friday, April 11, 2014) - The North American Soccer League today announced that ESPN3 will deliver a NASL 'Match of the Week' throughout the 2014 season, which will begin tomorrow, Saturday, April 12, with Indy Eleven's 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff against the Carolina RailHawks.
Indy Eleven's long-awaited Inaugural Game is expected to be played before a raucous crowd that could reach in excess of 11,000 fans at Michael A. Carroll Stadium at IUPUI. While an international audience will be able to catch the match live on ESPN3, fans in Central Indiana can also watch this historic affair on Indy Eleven's official television partner, MyINDY TV-23.
"To have Indy Eleven's Inaugural Game featured as the first game in ESPN3's 'NASL Match of the Week' package will provide a great opportunity for the club to make a strong first impression to soccer fans across the country and beyond," said Indy Eleven Director of Corporate Partnerships and Broadcasting Larry Linde.
The collaboration between ESPN3 and the NASL will feature a key matchup every week during the 2014 Spring and Fall Seasons, delivering a total of 27 games on ESPN's live multi-screen sports network available in more than 92 million households nationwide.
"We are delighted to create a national footprint for our live coverage and to again work with ESPN3," said NASL Commissioner Bill Peterson. "NASL Soccer Bowl 2013 was carried on ESPN3 in November and has built on the success of that relationship to evolve and expand our coverage for 2014."
The agreement will provide a flexible schedule of games to air on ESPN3, allowing a compelling NASL matchup to be delivered each week to fans across the United States.
ESPN's live multi-screen sports network is accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app and streamed on televisions through ESPN on Xbox LIVE to Gold members and Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV.
