Bay FC v Seattle Reign in the NWSL will be shown in the UK overnight on ION Television in the United States, with Maura Sheridan on main commentary alongside Marion Crowder, while local radio coverage comes from KJR 950 AM with Jackson Felts, Stephanie Verdoia and Kwame Appiah. The match is scheduled for 12:45am UTC, which is 1:45am UK time, and takes place at PayPal Park in San Jose.[1][10][12]
The fixture is part of the NWSL regular season, with Seattle Reign visiting Bay FC in a game that was listed by multiple match guides for the same late-night slot. Seattle media previewed the contest as a chance for the Reign to improve their position in the playoff race, while Bay FC approached it after a busy stretch of fixtures.[2][4][16]
For British fans, the key point is that this is not being shown live on ITV, BBC, Sky or TNT in the UK, but it is available via the US television feed on ION and through radio commentary on KJR 950 AM.[4][7][10] Bay FC’s own match preview confirmed that the game airs on ION in the United States and on NWSL+ internationally, with ION also carrying the broadcast in a national US window.[7][16]
Maura Sheridan is listed as the lead commentator for the national ION coverage, with Marion Crowder alongside her as co-commentator.[10] On the radio side, Jackson Felts fronts the KJR 950 AM team, joined by analysts Stephanie Verdoia and Kwame Appiah.[10] That split between a national TV crew and a local radio team is typical for NWSL broadcasts, especially for West Coast fixtures with strong regional interest.
The match also has some useful context for viewers tuning in for the first time. Seattle media noted that Bay FC led the all-time series heading into this meeting, although the clubs have played only a handful of times since Bay entered the league.[2][19] Seattle’s preview also highlighted that the Reign were looking to climb back into the playoff picture, which gives the game added importance beyond a standard regular-season outing.[2][4]
ION has become one of the most visible homes for NWSL coverage in the United States, and Bay FC’s own information page pointed viewers to the network as the domestic broadcaster for this fixture.[7] For supporters following from outside the US, the official international option cited in Bay FC materials is NWSL+, the league’s streaming platform, which provides an alternative to the American television feed.[7][16]
If you are looking specifically for the people behind the coverage, the most relevant names for this match are clear: Maura Sheridan and Marion Crowder on ION, and Jackson Felts, Stephanie Verdoia and Kwame Appiah on KJR 950 AM.[10] For fans in Britain, that makes this an overnight watch with a US broadcast package rather than a domestic television slot.[1][12]
