MSG Networks will televise 19 of the Red Bulls’ 34 regular season matches, both organziations announced Tuesday.

MSG Networks’ first Red Bulls telecast will be on Saturday, April 1 at 8 p.m., when the Red Bulls take on the Houston Dynamo at Red Bull Arena, with a 30-minute pregame show on MSG Network.

All Red Bulls games televised on MSG Networks will also be live streamed on MSG GO, MSG Networks’ live streaming and video on demand platform for smartphones, tablets and computers.

MSG Networks, which has been the regional television home of the Red Bulls (previously the Metro Stars) since 1996, will telecast pregame coverage for all MSG Networks’ produced games and postgame coverage for all MSG Networks’ produced home games.

Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Steve Cangialosi will return for his 10th season as the team’s play-by-play announcer and 16th season covering the Red Bulls, while former Cosmos and Arrows goalkeeper Shep Messing starts his 17th season as game analyst. Host and sideline reporter Tina Cervasio will be back for her 10th season.

The Red Bulls’ remaining 15 regular season matches will be shown by MLS national television partners.
