Racing Louisville v Chicago Stars will be shown live in the United States on CBS Sports Network, with Mike Watts on commentary, while viewers in Chicago can watch on Fox Chicago+ (WPWR) and international audiences on NWSL+ International using the world-feed team of Sara Ach and Gary Bailey.[1][8]
The NWSL fixture is scheduled for Saturday, 1 August 2026 at Lynn Family Stadium in Louisville, with kickoff listed at 3:00pm CT and 8:00pm UTC, which makes it a Saturday evening watch for British viewers.[1][3][6] Racing Louisville’s own preview confirms the match is airing nationally on CBS Sports Network, while the club also notes local radio coverage on Sports Talk 790AM and 790louisville.com.[8]
Mike Watts has become one of the more recognisable voices in American football broadcasting, particularly through his work on domestic and international soccer coverage. His assignment for this match means CBS Sports Network viewers will hear a familiar broadcast voice on an important late-season NWSL meeting.[1]
For viewers outside the USA, the key option is NWSL+ International, which is carrying the game through the world feed. That feed brings together Sara Ach as main commentator and former South Africa goalkeeper Gary Bailey as co-commentator, a pairing that should suit fans who prefer a neutral broadcast rather than a club- or market-specific production.[1]
Sara Ach has built a profile as a women’s football broadcaster, while Gary Bailey brings long-standing punditry experience and the authority of a former professional goalkeeper. Bailey is best known to British football followers for his career with Manchester United, and his background usually adds a tactical and goalkeeping perspective to live coverage.Manchester United
The match matters in the NWSL standings as well as on the broadcast side. Chicago Stars enter the game on 12 points and Racing Louisville on 11 points, according to the club preview, so this is a close contest between two sides near each other in the table.[1] That competitive context should make the CBS Sports Network and world-feed coverage worth following from start to finish.[1][8]
For British audiences, the important takeaway is simple: if you want the most accessible option, the game is listed for 8:00pm UK time on Saturday, with NWSL+ International offering the world-feed commentary and CBS Sports Network carrying the US linear broadcast.[1][3][6]
