Maura Sheridan and Marion Crowder on ION as Bay FC host Seattle Reign in the NWSL
Match date:
Bay FC v Seattle Reign in the National Women’s Soccer League will be shown in the US on ION Television, with Maura Sheridan on commentary alongside co-commentator Marion Crowder. Fans can also follow the game on KJR 950 AM, where Jackson Felts leads the coverage with Stephanie Verdoia and Kwame Appiah in support. The match is scheduled for 5:45 p.m. PT on Saturday at PayPal Park in San Jose, which converts to 01:45 UK time on Sunday, 2 August. [1][5][10]
ION remains the key television outlet for this fixture in the United States, while 950 KJR AM provides the radio option for Seattle supporters. Bay FC’s own match preview also confirms that the game is available on ION in the US, with NWSL+ used for international audiences outside the US, Australia and Canada. [5][1]
The contest matters in the race for the NWSL play-offs. Seattle Reign come into the match looking to climb back into the post-season picture, while Bay FC are aiming to protect home advantage in San Jose. The Seattle Times notes that the Reign are 6-7-2 and Bay FC are 5-7-3, underlining how tight the standings are at this stage of the season. [1]
Maura Sheridan has become one of the familiar voices around women’s football coverage, and her assignment on ION reflects the growing profile of the league’s broadcast package. Marion Crowder, listed as the co-commentator, brings the analyst role alongside the play-by-play coverage. On the radio side, Jackson Felts fronts the 950 KJR AM call, with Stephanie Verdoia and Kwame Appiah also named for the broadcast team. [5][10]
There is also recent history between the clubs. Seattle Reign’s preview of the meeting says the sides have already met once this year, with Bay FC winning that game 3-2 in San Jose after a late goal settled it. That gives Bay a psychological edge heading into another home fixture at PayPal Park. [4]
For British readers tracking the match from the early hours, the most relevant viewing note is the UK kick-off time rather than a domestic television channel, since the available coverage listed in the match previews is US-based. The game can be watched on ION in the United States, and the wider NWSL ecosystem continues to build visibility through outlet-specific coverage and streaming options. [5][1]
More background on the competition can be found on the league’s official site: NWSL.
With Bay FC protecting home turf and Seattle Reign chasing momentum in the table, this is the kind of mid-season NWSL fixture that can shape the play-off race as much as it entertains. [1][5]
