OL Reign and FOX 13+ Expand Broadcast Partnership
For the second-straight season, select OL Reign matches will be available locally on FOX 13+
OL Reign today announced an extension to their partnership with FOX 13+ that will include local broadcast rights to eight OL Reign matches in 2023, doubling the amount of matches available locally last season.
“It was critical for us to ensure OL Reign fans across the region had access to our matches throughout the season, which is why we’re thrilled to bring back FOX 13+ as our broadcast partner once again,” said OL Reign CEO Vincent Berthillot. “We had a very positive response from their coverage last season and during our international friendly with Club América, so we’re excited to continue this expansion of access.”
As defending NWSL Shield champions, OL Reign is gearing up for another highly anticipated season. After re-signing club originals Lauren Barnes and Megan Rapinoe, the team is eager to enter the league’s second decade of competition.
The club’s first three matches of the season will be among the eight matches available on FOX 13+, which includes the home opener at Lumen Field on Saturday, April 15 against San Diego Wave FC.
