Las Vegas Lights Get the TV Treatment They Deserve
The beautiful game is about to get a whole lot more accessible in Vegas. Las Vegas Lights FC just scored a massive win off the pitch – 31 matches will air across the FOX5 family of networks during the 2026 season. This isn‘t just another broadcast deal; it’s exactly what this club needed to build the fanbase they've been working toward.
FOX5, Silver State Sports & Entertainment Network (SSSEN), and 5DRVtv will bring Lights matches to living rooms across Southern Nevada and Reno. The best part? Much of this coverage comes free over the air with an antenna, removing barriers that have kept potential fans from discovering what this team brings to the table.

Building Something Special
The timing couldn't be better. Under Sporting Director Gianleonardo Neglia and Head Coach Devin Rensing, the 2026 Lights roster is built with purpose – veteran leadership anchoring the defense, creative playmakers controlling the midfield, and legitimate scoring threats up front. This isn‘t just throwing names together; it’s strategic roster construction designed to compete.
Owner José Bautista continues leading the franchise‘s evolution, bringing his championship mentality from his MLB days to help establish soccer’s place in the Vegas sports landscape. The Las Vegas Lights official website shows a club that's serious about competing at the highest level of USL Championship soccer.
The Broadcast Game Changer
“Airing Las Vegas Lights FC on the FOX5 family of networks is about bringing big local sports to more Nevada homes,” said Michael Korr, Vice President and General Manager of KVVU FOX5. That's exactly the kind of thinking that builds sustainable fanbases – make the product accessible, let the quality speak for itself.
Shawn McIntosh, CEO of Las Vegas Lights FC, hit the nail on the head: “This is a huge opportunity to introduce more people to the team we're building and to keep winning over fans across the valley.” In a sports town like Vegas, exposure equals opportunity. When fans can easily watch games, they invest emotionally in results.
Making Soccer Accessible in Vegas
The broadcast setup removes every excuse for missing matches. SSSEN appears on COX cable channel 77 and streams on YouTube TV and Fubo. FOX5 Sports will follow the team all season with highlights and features, keeping Lights FC visible even between matches.
This comprehensive coverage strategy recognizes something crucial – Vegas soccer fans exist, but they've been underserved. Now they can follow every crucial save, every perfectly weighted pass, every momentum-shifting goal that defines seasons. The Silver State Sports & Entertainment Network provides the platform for soccer to grow genuine roots in this market.
The 2026 season represents more than just another year of matches. It's the moment when Las Vegas Lights FC gets the media platform to showcase what they've built. When the lights come on and the cameras roll, this team finally gets its shot to win over a city that appreciates winners.
