A KING-Sized Reign Coming To Seattle

It is a professional sports club established in 2012 as a founding member of the National Women’s Soccer League. Now, it has local broadcast rights for 11 regular season games secured, thanks to a partnership with a local TEGNA over-the-air TV station.

The Seattle Reign FC has its games airing on KONG-16, the sibling of KONG-5 in Seattle-Tacoma. The first game was scheduled for 5pm Sunday (4/14) as the team took on “Bay FC.”

Seattle Reign FC CEO Vincent Berthillot commented, “We’re thrilled to establish a partnership with KING 5 this season and provide our fans with exclusive Reign FC content. We look forward to teaming up on dedicated coverage that reflects the demand and growth we are experiencing in women’s soccer, while also working together on community-based initiatives that impact our region.”

TEGNA’s KING 5 Media Group will have local broadcast rights to six home and five away games, including the Reign’s next three games. As the official local broadcast partner of Seattle Reign FC, KING 5 will also provide fans with special access to post-game coverage, exclusive interviews with Reign FC coaches and players and deliver unique web and social media content.

“We are delighted to forge a relationship with Seattle Reign FC, continuing our commitment to lead the market with dedicated local sports reporting and programming.” said KING & KONG President/GM Christy Moreno. “We’re equally proud we can provide our Northwest communities with free, over-the-air and live stream coverage of professional women’s soccer and unparalleled coverage of the Reign FC organization.”

The fourteen-team NWSL is widely considered to be the most competitive women’s professional soccer league in the world.
