The National Women's Soccer League on Tuesday announced its broadcast schedule for all 128 regular-season and playoff matches, with Racing Louisville FC set for one of the league's national television slots.

Racing's 7 p.m. July 2 match at the Orlando Pride was selected to be on CBS Sports Network. Each of the club's other 21 regular-season matches will be streamed via Paramount+ or Twitch.

Racing opens at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at the Chicago Red Stars, with that match set as the standalone broadcast on Paramount+ on the second day of opening weekend. League play kicks off the night before when expansion club Angel City FC hosts the North Carolina Courage on CBS Sports Network.

The home opener for Racing, set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 14 against the Houston Dash, will be streamed over Twitch. Racing's regular season will conclude October 1 against the Kansas City Current, a match that will also be carried by Twitch.

The NWSL quarterfinals will be split between CBS Sports Network and Paramount+ on Oct. 16, while the league semifinals will both air Oct. 23 on CBS Sports Network. The NWSL Championship match is set for Saturday, Oct. 29, on CBS.

Season tickets for Racing's 11 home games - including a number of perks, among them an exclusive team scarf and merchandise discounts - are available now by visiting RacingLouFC.com/tickets, calling (502) 568-2489 or visiting the Lynn Family Stadium box office from 1-5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Racing is entering its second season in what many consider the top professional women's soccer league in the world with high hopes after recording the most points in league history for an expansion side.

The NWSL's all-time assists leader and fourth-leading scorer, Jess McDonald, joined the team via an offseason trade, giving Racing a veteran playmaker who won the 2019 World Cup with the U.S. Women's National Team. McDonald added to an attacking corps that includes international soccer icon Nadia Nadim, last season's top scorers Cece Kizer and Ebony Salmon, Louisville soccer legend Emina Ekic and All-American wide forward Kirsten Davis.

Racing also drafted midfielder Jaelin Howell, the two-time college player of the year and two-time national champion who is now a regular with the U.S. Women's National Team, and midfielder Savannah DeMelo, a U.S. Under-20 National Team fixture. They were U-20 teammates of Racing star fullback Emily Fox, who is entering her second year as a pro.

The club continued its recruitment of international players, too, signing midfield maestro Alex Chidiac, who plays for the Australian national team, as well as Northern Ireland national team fullback Rebecca Holloway. Americans playing abroad, defender Julia Lester and attacker Sh'Nia Gordon, also returned home by signing with Racing.

A number of international stars will pass through Lynn Family Stadium this season, too, including U.S. Women's National Team standouts Rose Lavelle, Kelley O'Hara, Sam Mewis, Alex Morgan, Christen Press, Mallory Pugh, Megan Rapinoe and Trinity Rodman.

Morgan's San Diego plays at Lynn Family Stadium on May 18, while Press's Angel City comes to Louisville on June 11. Lavelle and Rapinoe's OL Reign will be in town August 2, and O'Hara and Rodman's Washington Spirit play at Racing on August 5.

Pugh's Chicago Red Stars open their season against Racing in Chicago, and they'll visit LFS on August 27. Mewis and the revamped Kansas City Current will be Racing's opponent in the home finale on October 1.
