NonStop Local KHQ/SWX will broadcast 14 home and away Spokane Velocity FC games this season, while KREM 2/KSKN 22 will broadcast six home games. In total, 20 matches will air on these trusted stations for local fans.

The only home match not broadcast locally will be Velocity FC vs. Union Omaha on Sept. 4, which will be covered by CBS Sports Network national broadcast.

“The Eastern Washington and North Idaho Spokane Velocity FC fan will be able to directly view home and away matches from the comfort of their living room through our two local linear partners in KREM 2/KSKN 22 and NonStop Local KHQ/SWX,” remarked Tate Kelly, the vice president of partnerships for USL Spokane.

These regional broadcasts will increase accessibility to Velocity FC’s home and away games, allowing supporters to tune in when they are not in attendance.

“I am personally very thankful to John Fritz and Jason Ramsey at NonStop Local KHQ/SWX for seeing the value to deliver regionally the area's first professional men’s soccer club. Viewership options through NonStop Local KHQ/SWX will be a natural fit for our growing fanbase,” Kelly stated.

NonStop Local KHQ/SWX and KREM 2/KSKN 22 airing Velocity FC matches will connect the local community to the players and coaches, creating fan and team growth.

“RJ Merritt and his team at KREM 2/KSKN 22 have been believers in what we are building for the soccer community for quite some time now. Our values are aligned to deliver a professional level soccer broadcast to the region for the next two years. We are grateful that KREM 2/KSKN 22 will help grow our fan base over the coming years,” said Kelly.

KREM 2/KSKN 22 and NonStop Local KHQ/SWX are airing Velocity FC matches through the 2025 season. Velocity FC and these local stations will discuss renewal after the two years have passed.

NonStop Local KHQ/SWX will conduct an exclusive segment with Velocity coaches and players each month, enabling fans to learn more about the team and recent games. In addition, KREM 2/KSKN 22 will host a KREM 2/KSKN 22 Night at one Velocity match.
