Phoenix Rising FC News Release


PHOENIX - Phoenix Rising FC today announced its 2026 Broadcast Schedule. 33 matches will be broadcast on Arizona's Family Network (KPHO, KTVK, AZFS), with one match currently set to air on national television.

Arizona's Family returns for its third season carrying the club's matches, with 19 to air on Arizona's Family Sports (AZFS), seven on both 3TV (KTVK) and AZFS, five on 3TV and two on CBS 5 (KPHO).

"We're thrilled to extend our partnership with Arizona's Family," said Phoenix Rising Club President Bobby Dulle. " As we prepare to celebrate our tenth season as Phoenix Rising, we know how important it is to share our story with as many fans as possible."

Matches on Arizona's Family will also be available to stream on its app as well as at azfamily.com/livestream.

HOW TO STREAM

With the exception of its nationally-broadcast match, Rising matches will be available to stream on ESPN+ (27) or CBS Sports Golazo Network (6).

Matches on the Golazo Network are available with no subscription required through the Paramount+ app as well as via CBSSports.com, the CBS Sports app, Pluto TV, Roku TV and more.

Rising's six Golazo broadcasts are currently scheduled for its matches against San Antonio FC (May 9), Monterey Bay FC (July 18, September 5), Las Vegas Lights FC (October 10), Orange County SC (October 17) and Lexington SC (October 24).

The rest of Rising's matches will be available to stream either through Arizona's Family or ESPN+.

NATIONAL BROADCAST MATCHES

In addition to the 33 matches available on Arizona's Family, Rising will play on national television midseason with CBS Sports Network carrying the club's August 19 match against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC.
