Bally Sports Arizona, Bally Sports Extra and the Bally Sports App will broadcast a total of 32 regular-season Phoenix Rising FC matches in Arizona this season, the club announced today.
In addition to the broadcasts, Phoenix’s pro soccer club will receive regular coverage and be featured alongside the Suns, Mercury, Arizona Coyotes and Diamondbacks on www.BallySports.com/Arizona as well as the network’s in-depth Twitter, Instagram and Facebook channels.
“This is a tremendous day for Bally Sports Arizona,” said Brian Hogan, Bally Sports Arizona Sr. Vice President & General Manager. “We are thrilled to have the Phoenix Rising join our roster of high-profile team partners that also includes the Arizona Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns, Arizona Coyotes and Phoenix Mercury. We can’t wait to televise Rising soccer throughout the state of Arizona and connect with their incredibly loyal and passionate fans.”
Rising fans around the state of Arizona can tune in to 32 broadcasts on Bally Sports Arizona or Bally Sports Arizona Extra, with five matches featured on tape delay due to prior commitments by the network to the Suns, Coyotes or D-backs. All games also stream on the Bally Sports app.
“This agreement with Bally Sports Arizona will bring Phoenix Rising FC into the homes of many new and existing fans in the region,” said Rising General Manager Bobby Dulle. “I’ve enjoyed the high-quality broadcasts and coverage Bally Sports Arizona provides local fans for years. I cannot wait to see our brand excel alongside the other pro teams in the Valley on Bally Sports Arizona.”
To kick off the partnership, Dulle will join Bally Sports Arizona’s Jody Jackson as the first intermission guest during tonight’s Coyotes – Avalanche broadcast that starts at 7 pm.
