How to Watch The Next Austin FC Game

Below are the upcoming Austin FC games and how you can stream them live based on where you live.

Stream Austin FC vs. L.A. Galaxy ( 5/28/22)

Match Time: Sat, May 28, 2022 at 8:00 PM EDT

MLS matches airing nationally will not air on the team's local in-market TV network. This game is airing nationally on TUDN, which you can watch on any of the services listed below:

  • fuboTV - Try a 7-day free trial
  • DIRECTV STREAM (Ultimate Plan) - Try a 5-day free trial

Watching Austin FC Matches All Season

Where you can watch Austin FC depends on a couple of factors. First, if the game is airing nationally on a network like FS1 or ESPN, then you will need that network to watch regardless of where you live. If you live inside their local TV market, Austin FC matches that aren’t nationally televised will be on The Austin FC App. If you live outside the Austin FC market, you can watch matches on ESPN+ if they aren’t airing on a national network. I’ll cover both possibilities and the streaming services you need to watch Austin FC throughout the 2022 season.

Watching Austin FC Matches in Market

Major League Soccer handles blackouts differently than most leagues. If a match is airing nationally on FS1, ESPN, or TUDN, then the match won’t air on Austin FC’s local flagship networks. This season KNVA CW Austin will air a majority of the club’s regional telecasts. Any remaining regional broadcasts not on The CW Austin will air on either KXAN or KBVO. You can watch all of those stations utilizing a TV antenna. However, anyone living in the Austin TV markets can stream those matches on the Austin FC App. Learn more on the Austin FC App website

While we cover national networks later in the article, FS1, ESPN, and TUDN are available on the following services so you can watch nationally televised Austin FC matches.

  • DIRECTV STREAM (Entertainment Plan) – Try a 5-day free trial
  • fuboTV – Try a 7-day free trial

Watching Austin FC Matches Outside their Market

If you live outside the Austin FC market, you will still need access to the channels that air national MLS broadcasts. However, games not airing nationally will be available on ESPN+ as long as you don’t live in the local market of either team playing. Hulu Live TV carries all the channels you need except for TUDN, but those matches are simulcast free on Twitter. Furthermore, Hulu Live TV is the only streaming service that lets you add ESPN+ to your subscription.

Hulu Live TV and ESPN+
