The deal is for the remainder of the 2020 season. 

YurView Las Vegas is the local origination television network managed by Cox Communications.  It regularly features the best of local, regional, and national content showcased on multiple platforms.  In Las Vegas, the channel is also the home for Major League Baseball’s San Diego Padres.

“We’re excited to partner with the Las Vegas Lights FC as they move forward with its 2020 season without fans in the stands at Cashman Field,” said Cox Media Las Vegas Vice President Tonya Ruby.  “The Saturday broadcasts, while not live, are a chance for the team’s enthusiastic fan base to be a part of the action.”

“All of us in the sports industry find ourselves in a very unique position in 2020.  While the COVID-19 virus has kept fans from watching Lights FC in-person at Cashman Field this season, it has increased the desire of fans to watch on television,” said Lights FC Owner & C.E.O. Brett Lashbrook.  “We are excited to further grow this relationship with COX.”
