Austin FC today announced that the Club’s 2026 MLS regular season and Leagues Cup matches will re-air locally on KBVO as part of an ongoing broadcast partnership with KBVO’s parent station, KXAN. Beginning this season, fans will be able to watch a full re-air of Austin FC’s most recent match every Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. CT on KBVO.
The first rebroadcast of the season will feature Austin FC’s 2026 home opener against Minnesota United FC, to be played on Saturday, February 21 with the encore airing scheduled for Tuesday, February 24.
“Since the inception of Austin FC, KXAN has been a terrific partner for the Club,” said Austin FC President Andy Loughnane. “With all Austin FC MLS and Leagues Cup matches now available at no extra cost to Apple TV subscribers and the addition of these re-aired games on KBVO, it has never been easier to watch Austin FC games than it will be in 2026.”
“KXAN, and sister station KBVO, are super excited to continue our partnership with Austin FC and offer our community another opportunity to watch the games,” said Eric Lassberg, Vice President & General Manager of KXAN/KNVA/KBVO.
The agreement marks the sixth consecutive year of collaboration between Austin FC and KXAN. KXAN’s network family previously carried Austin FC’s English-language broadcasts throughout the 2021 and 2022 seasons and aired the Club’s Verde Lights program from 2023 to 2025, strengthening an already robust relationship with the Central Texas soccer community.
