Mike Watts and Lori Lindsey on commentary as Gotham FC host San Diego Wave on Prime Video and NWSL+
Gotham FC’s meeting with San Diego Wave in the NWSL will be available to viewers in the UK on NWSL+ at 01:00 on Saturday, 8 August 2026, while the match is also listed on Amazon Prime Video US and SiriusXM FC for other audiences. Gotham confirmed the fixture as an 8pm ET kick-off at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, with Prime Video carrying the national broadcast in the United States.[6][7]
For British fans, the key point is that this is another late-night NWSL slot that can be followed through the league’s international streaming offer rather than a major UK terrestrial channel. The fixture page listings also point to the game being accessible in the UK via NWSL+, which is the most relevant option for domestic viewers looking for live coverage of Gotham against the Wave.[7]
The main broadcast team for the US feed features Mike Watts on commentary and Lori Lindsey as co-commentator. Watts is a familiar voice in American football coverage, known for his long-running work across domestic and international soccer broadcasts, while Lindsey brings elite playing experience and analysis after a career in the women’s game and work in media as a pundit and commentator. Their pairing should suit a match with significant implications near the top of the table, particularly given Gotham’s own billing of the game as one of the biggest regular-season fixtures of 2026.[6]
Gotham’s official preview describes this as a “top-four showdown” at Sports Illustrated Stadium, underlining the importance of the contest in the NWSL standings race.[6] The official league match centre also lists the fixture for 2026 between Gotham FC and San Diego Wave, confirming the competition and pairing.[2]
The recent history between the sides adds extra interest. In their last noted meeting, San Diego beat Gotham 2-0 on 4 July 2026, with the highlights describing it as a statement win for the Wave over the reigning champions.[9][16] That result gives Gotham a clear incentive to respond in front of their home crowd, particularly in a match that Gotham itself has framed as a major night in its season.[6][16]
For viewers planning their night around the coverage, the most useful information is straightforward: Gotham FC v San Diego Wave is scheduled for 01:00 UK time, with the UK stream on NWSL+, the US broadcast on Amazon Prime Video, and additional coverage listed on SiriusXM FC.[6][7][15]
