INDIANAPOLIS – Indy Eleven will return to the airwaves of WISH-TV and MyINDY-TV 23 for a sixth consecutive year in 2019 after the two organizations announced on Wednesday a new two-year partnership that will run through the 2020 USL Championship season.

The Eleven’s local broadcast schedule will include 20 live Championship regular season matches, including all 17 home games at Lucas Oil Stadium.

“Indy Eleven fans can once again look forward to high-quality broadcasts of our home and select away matches, thanks to the talented team at WISH-TV and MyINDY-TV 23,” said Larry Linde, Indy Eleven's Director of Corporate Partnerships & Broadcasting. “Our partners can also look forward to increased exposure as WISH-TV and MyINDY-TV 23 continues to help grow our team’s profile throughout Central Indiana.”

MyINDY-TV 23 will air 13 of the games, starting with the club’s home opener against Hartford Athletic at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, March 30 at 7 p.m. ET. WISH-TV will broadcast seven match-ups, the first arriving on May 1, when the Eleven go head-to-head with the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
