Sporting KC makes agreement with Fox Sports KC to air matches

A new multi-year agreement was announced Tuesday between Fox Sports and Sporting Kansas City.

Fox Sports KC will show Sporting KC matches beginning in 2017, according to a news release.

All Sporting KC matches not nationally televised during the 2017 MLS season will air on FOX Sports Kansas City, reaching fans in Kansas, Nebraska and western Missouri, according to the announcement.

Some Sporting Kansas City matches will also air on FOX Sports Midwest, reaching additional viewers in Missouri and Iowa – including the St. Louis, Des Moines, Springfield and Columbia markets.

Some Sporting KC telecasts will be televised nationally as Major League Soccer enters the third season of an eight-year broadcasting deal with FOX Sports, ESPN and Univision.

In the FOX Sports Kansas City commentary booth, Nate Bukaty will return for his third season as Sporting KC’s play-by-play announcer.
