Bright House Sports Network (BHSN) and the Tampa Bay Rowdies announced Monday that the network will air all of the team's 2016 home matches.
“Bright House Sports Network is the perfect partner to share the renewed energy and excitement surrounding the Tampa Bay Rowdies,” said Rowdies principal owner Bill Edwards in a statement. "With Bright House Networks we will be able to showcase our attack-minded style of play to soccer enthusiasts and families around the state.”
The Rowdies have 16 matches on their home schedule in 2016. BHSN will be the exclusive provider of those matches, plus pre- and post-game shows. The network also announced that matches would be replayed every Sunday after a match at 2 p.m.
More than 85,000 fans attended Rowdies home matches at Al Lang Stadium in downtown St. Petersburg in 2015.
The Rowdies open the 2016 season against Indy Eleven on April 2.
