The Orlando Pride will have seven of their 24 matches in the 2017 National Women’s Soccer League season televised nationally on the Lifetime Network. A deal was reached earlier this year by the league and A+E Networks, which includes a nationally televised Game of the Week each weekend during the season. This is a huge step for the league after only six matches in the past two years have been nationally televised.
Right away the Pride will find themselves in the national spotlight as their opening weekend match against the Portland Thorns will be the first nationally televised match of the season.
