Here’s your guide to watching Austin FC games in 2021.
The CW Austin/KNVA is the flagship English language television station of Austin FC and will broadcast a majority of ATXFC’s regional games. For any matches the CW Austin station doesn’t carry, KXAN or KBVO will pick them up.
That means all regular season matches in our region will be broadcast over-the-air (OTA) in hi-def to 100% of the TV households in the greater Austin metro viewing area. Not all MLS cities can say that!
How to watch the game on TV
Home matches will be televised on the following OTA channels. (Scroll to the bottom to view the full game-by-game broadcast schedule.)
- The CW Austin/KNVA: Channel 54.1
- KXAN: Channel 36
- KBVO: Channel 27
Cable channels vary for The CW Austin: AT&T (1012), Spectrum (12), DIRECTV (54), Grande (812), and DISH (5184).
Univision is the official Spanish-language broadcast and radio partner and Univision’s local stations – Univision 62 (KAKW) and UniMás Austin (KTFO) – will broadcast every regionally televised match in Spanish. Also, matches can be streamed on the Univision Austin website.
Who are the commentators for Austin FC?
Adrian Healey brings his British accent and impressive soccer broadcasting experience to Texas as the club’s English language play-by-play commentator. A massive front office hire in 2020, Healey’s anchored ESPN’s MLS game coverage for pretty much the last decade, plus he’s been lead announcer for six MLS Cups, among other notable on-air accomplishments.
In March 2021, Adrian welcomed Michael Lahoud, a former MLS and USL player, to the broadcast booth. He’s already dipped his toe in the local TV broadcast scene as an analyst for women’s soccer on the Longhorn Network.
For Spanish language broadcasts, former Liga MX and USL star midfielder Sonny Guadarrama will serve as analyst and Roger Valdivieso as play-by-play announcer.
