NEW YORK – For the fourth consecutive season, North American Soccer League will stream games live on ESPN3 on a weekly basis, the league announced Wednesday.

ESPN3 will carry a significant portion of the league’s games this season. Any NASL game not appearing on another national network or platform will stream live on ESPN3.

“Our relationship with ESPN3 started back in 2014, and they have been a great platform for NASL ever since,” NASL interim commissioner Rishi Sehgal said in a statement. “Through feedback from our fans, we know how much they love using the network to watch games, whether at home or on the go.”

ESPN3 is accessible in the U.S. on computers, smartphones, tablets, and streaming devices through WatchESPN. For the games streaming live on ESPN3, Canadian viewers will be able to watch them live on NASL.com.

“We’re thrilled that ESPN3 will continue to offer our fans a great streaming option that can be accessed on a wide variety of devices,” Sehgal said.
North Carolina FC and Miami FC will kick off the league’s ESPN3 slate this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The fall season lineup will be announced soon, the NASL said.
