Racing Louisville FC News Release


Racing Louisville FC will close group stage play in the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup with a nationally televised game.

After the first five fixtures all live stream via Paramount+, the club will feature on CBS Sports Network when it travels to play the Houston Dash on April 24. Kickoff time has changed from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET to accommodate the broadcast assignment.

TV and streaming listings were released league-wide on Tuesday for the preseason Challenge Cup tournament, which Racing will kick off March 18 when hosting the KC Current. Other home games fall March 25 versus the Houston Dash and April 16 against the Chicago Red Stars.

With NWSL clubs divided into a trio of geographically aligned pods for the Challenge Cup, Racing will also play those same three teams away: March 30 at Chicago and April 2 at Kansas City before the finale in Houston.

Group winners, plus the best-finishing runner-up, will advance to playoff semifinals - one airing on CBS Sports Network and the other streaming via Paramount+. Following those May 4 games, CBS is set to broadcast the May 7 final.

Visit RacingLouFC.com/Challenge-Cup to purchase tickets and parking for tournament home games at Lynn Family Stadium. The full Challenge Cup schedule for all 12 of the league's teams can be found at NWSLSoccer.com/schedule.

The 22-game regular season will follow later this spring. A full schedule is to be announced.
