Where to Watch Utah Royals vs Orlando Pride: JP Dellacamera Leads NWSL Coverage on Ion Television
British fans eager to watch the National Women\'s Soccer League (NWSL) match between Utah Royals and Orlando Pride on 19 July 2026 will find the game broadcast exclusively in the UK via Ion Television (USA) streamed through the Scripps Sports Network, with live commentary led by legendary American broadcaster JP Dellacamera and co-commentator Jill Loyden starting at 01:45 UK time [1][3].
Unlike the major British broadcasters such as BBC, ITV, Sky Sports, or TNT Sports, which have not picked up this particular fixture, the match will be available via the world feed or US domestic stream, meaning UK viewers will need to access the Scripps Sports Network platform or a compatible streaming service that carries Ion Television [1]. For those outside the US, the NWSL\'s international streaming partner may also offer access, though the primary live commentary will remain the Ion broadcast featuring Dellacamera.
JP Dellacamera, widely regarded as the best American play-by-play announcer in soccer history, brings nearly 40 years of broadcasting experience to this fixture, having called 15 FIFA World Cups (9 men\'s and 6 women\'s) and three Olympic soccer tournaments across networks including ESPN, ABC, NBC, and Fox Sports [2][5]. He is currently the lead play-by-play voice for Fox Sports\' premier soccer portfolio and served as the primary announcer for the last three FIFA Women\'s World Cups, including the 2024 edition [1][3]. Dellacamera has also been the voice of the Philadelphia Union since their 2010 debut and was honoured in 2018 with the Colin Jose Media Award by the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame [7][9]. His career spans over six decades, and he has broadcast thousands of matches on both radio and television [10][11].
Co-commentator Jill Loyden adds depth to the broadcast with her extensive background in women\'s soccer. Loyden, a former professional player and current coach, has worked extensively with NWSL coverage and brings tactical insight that complements Dellacamera\'s storytelling prowess. Her experience includes coaching roles within the U.S. youth system and commentary work for various women\'s football leagues, making her a natural fit alongside Dellacamera for high-profile NWSL fixtures.
The fixture itself carries significant stakes, with Orlando Pride, recently crowned NWSL champions in 2025, aiming to maintain their dominance, while Utah Royals, who returned to the league in 2024, seek to prove they can compete with the league\'s best. Played under floodlights in Utah, the match kicks off at 01:45 UK time on Sunday, 19 July, following a late Saturday night in the US [1].
For British viewers unable to access the Ion Television stream directly, some third-party sports streaming aggregators may carry the Scripps Sports Network, though availability varies. There is no official UK television broadcast on Sky or BBC for this match, so international fans will need to rely on the US domestic feed.

Whether you\'re a long-time follower of Orlando Pride\'s rise or a supporter of the revamped Utah Royals, this early-morning clash offers a chance to witness elite women\'s football with one of the most respected voices in soccer announcing, JP Dellacamera, guiding the narrative from the booth.
