On Thursday, New York City FC announced a multi-year local broadcasting agreement with the YES Network, which will serve as the club's exclusive home for local, English-language broadcasts.
The YES Network has acquired the rights to televise all New York City FC home and away matches that are not carried by a Major League Soccer national television partner.
“It is only fitting that YES has become New York City FC’s television partner, given the New York Yankees’ investment in the club and New York City FC’s playing in the number one market in the country, at Yankee Stadium in particular,” YES Network president and CEO Tracy Dolgin said. “The Yankees-Man City ownership structure, along with the presence of Jason Kreis and Claudio Reyna, give New York City FC instant credibility, and we expect it to become one of MLS’ flagship franchises in no time.”
New York City FC are one of two expansion sides, along with Orlando City, set to make their MLS debuts when the 2015 season opens in March. New York City FC's games will be carried on radio in the New York area by CBS Radio's WFAN.
