Sporting Club Jacksonville News Release


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Sporting Club Jacksonville (Sporting JAX), the First Coast's first-ever professional women's soccer club, announced today a landmark broadcast partnership that will bring nearly every home match of its inaugural season in the Gainbridge Super League, a USL property, to local television viewers. Through partnerships with First Coast News (WTLV NBC 12/WJXX ABC 25) and News4Jax (WJXT 4), fans across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia will be able to watch upcoming preseason and regular season matches on over-the-air channels. The preseason home opener and first-ever home match in club history against Scottish Champions Hibernian FC will be broadcast on WTLV NBC 12 on Saturday, Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. EST. The match will also stream on ESPN+.

"We couldn't be more excited to team up with Sporting Jax," said Tim Thomas, president and general manager of Tegna Florida/First Coast News. "This partnership is all about bringing the energy of local soccer to the First Coast and telling the stories that matter most to fans. At First Coast News, being On Your Side means championing the people, places and passions that make our community special - and that's exactly what this collaboration is all about."

According to league regulations, the season opener on Aug. 23 against DC Power FC will exclusively stream live on Peacock. All home and away matches are also available on Peacock throughout the Gainbridge Super League season.

Saturday home matches on Sept. 6, Sept. 13, Oct. 18 and Nov. 22 will be broadcast on WJXT Channel 4.

"WJXT, The Local Station, is excited to partner with Sporting JAX and to bring world-class matchups to our viewers," said Terri Cope Walton, vice president and general manager of WJXT. "This inaugural season promises to be dynamic and entertaining, and we are proud to be a supporter of women's pro soccer."

Two matches, scheduled for Dec. 13 and Dec. 20 before the midseason break, will be broadcast on WJXX ABC 25 and WTLV NBC 12, respectively. The Wednesday home match on Feb. 11 will be broadcast on QUEST 25.3, Comcast channels 208 and 1177.

"Our goal is to bring Sporting JAX soccer to as many fans as possible, whether in the stadium or living rooms across the region," said Steve Livingstone, president and CEO of Sporting JAX. "We are grateful to First Coast News, which has been a tremendous partner from the start, and to News4JAX, which recognized the importance of bringing pro soccer back to Jacksonville.
