(SAN DIEGO, CA) - The San Diego Seals and FOX 5 San Diego have announced a renewed broadcast partnership for the 2019-20 season that increases the amount of unique Seals content on the station. The local FOX affiliate will deliver live and produced game content throughout the San Diego region as the Seals begin their quest for the NLL Cup.

"We're proud to renew our partnership with FOX 5 San Diego for the upcoming NLL season," said Seals president Steve Govett. "We believe we have a team that fans will love to watch, and we are thrilled FOX 5 will give San Diegans increased opportunities to see the Seals."

The television schedule will feature three full-game broadcasts on FOX 5. This Saturday, the Seals home-opener against the Toronto Rock will air live on the network at 7:00 p.m. The Seals' February 22 contest vs. the Vancouver Warriors and the regular-season finale on April 25 vs. the Calgary Roughnecks will also air on the top-rated FOX television network affiliate.

"We are thrilled to partner with the San Diego Seals and bring the action and excitement of lacrosse to San Diego on December 14," said Scott Heath, FOX 5 Vice President and General Manager. "The Seals have created a groundswell here in San Diego, with a tremendous following and great attendance. FOX 5 is proud to deliver local lacrosse to our viewers along with over 860 hours of live sports on FOX 5."

Following the successful debut of 'Seals in 30' last season, the show that condenses full games down to 30 minutes and features a blitz of great goals, amazing saves and big hits returns for all 18 regular-season Seals games this year. 'Seals in 30' debuts this Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Play-by-play announcer Jon Schaeffer and color analyst Doug Locker return for their second season in the booth. Schaeffer is an accomplished TV and radio sports broadcaster who has appeared nationally on CBS Sports Network, FOX College Sports, ESPN GamePlan and ESPN3, and regionally on SNY, Root Sports Pittsburgh, MASN and CSN Mid-Atlantic.
