User:Brindille1/List of New England Revolution broadcasters
This article lists broadcasters, commentators, and field reporters who have presented games of the Boston-based American professional soccer club New England Revolution. As a founding member of the Major League Soccer league, Revolution matches have been broadcast on television and radio since the team's first season in 1996.
Television
[edit]2020s
[edit]| Year | Channel | Play-by-play | Color commentator(s) | Field Level reporters |
| 2022 | WBZ & WSBK | Brad Feldman | Charlie Davies | Naoko Funayama |
| 2021 | WBZ & WSBK | Brad Feldman | Charlie Davies | Naoko Funayama |
| 2020 | NBC Sports Boston | Brad Feldman | Charlie Davies or Paul Mariner | Naoko Funayama |
Notes
[edit]- In 2023, MLS partnered with Apple to launch MLS Season Pass, which would broadcast every regular and postseason MLS game for the 2023 season.[1] As of the 2023 season, Revolution games are broadcast almost exclusively on this service, with exceptions for certain national linear television broadcast partners.
- From 2021 to 2022, all Revolution matches were televised locally in high definition on either WBZ-TV or WSBK-TV; nationally televised matches aired on ESPN, Fox Sports, and Univision. All matches are broadcast on radio by 98.5 The Sports Hub, but this is a simulcast of the TV feed. Brad Feldman served as the team's longtime play-by-play on both TV and radio, with former Revolution and USMNT player Charlie Davies doing color commentary.[2] Prior to 2021, matches were aired locally on NBC Sports Boston.[3]

Notes
[edit]- In 2007, Major League Soccer announced that WSBK would become the exclusive carrier of the New England Revolution, replacing WLVI and FSN New England. After three seasons, the Revolution moved their non-nationally televised games to Comcast SportsNet New England (the former FSN New England and current NBC Sports Boston) in 2010;[4] in 2021, the club moved its telecasts back to WSBK as part of a partnership with sister station WBZ-TV.[5] WSBK and WBZ lost their local rights to Revolution games in 2023, when all MLS broadcasts shifted over to MLS Season Pass, a new subscription service hosted on Apple TV.
