"We are thrilled to team up with SFL-TV as the official television broadcast partner of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers," said Geromel. "The Fort Lauderdale-based station is very active in our community and will help us attract new fans. While we certainly want Strikers fans to continue to come out to Lockhart Stadium and enjoy professional soccer in person, it allows fans to watch every minute of action on their TVs."
The HD telecasts will include a seven minute pre-game show before kickoff. SFL-TV will produce Strikers-specific content that will run on the station, including features with the station's street team.
