El Paso Locomotive FC and KFOX14 are excited to announce their new partnership making KFOX14 the local broadcast home for El Paso Locomotive FC. The first televised game is the Home Opener against New Mexico United from Southwest University Park on Saturday, March 19. Coverage begins at 6:00 p.m. MT on channel 14.
KFOX14 Vice President and General Manager Matt Kaplowitz said, “We could not be more excited to bring the EP Locomotive to KFOX14 and we are absolutely thrilled to provide a top-notch viewing experience for the passionate fan base of the EP Locomotive. This is just the beginning of a strong partnership between a powerhouse soccer club and our powerhouse television station.”
In addition to the Home Opener, KFOX14 will also broadcast the El Paso Locomotive versus Oakland Roots SC game on April 23 on channel 14. This game is a rematch of the 2021 Western Conference Quarterfinal. The remaining El Paso Locomotive FC home matches will be available online locally at KFOXTV.COM.
“Locomotive fans who aren’t able to be part of the experience in person at Southwest University Park can root for the Locos on KFOX14 and KFOXTV.COM,” said MountainStar Sports Group President, Alan Ledford. “We’re excited to kick off this partnership and look forward to a terrific relationship.”
Locomotive FC welcomes New Mexico United to Southwest University Park for its Home Opener for the second straight year. The Locos have outperformed United in El Paso, including a critical win in the 2020 Western Conference Semifinals after a penalty shootout. The high-octane action of these two fierce rivals once again kicks off the Locomotive home campaign in what is sure to be an instant thriller of a match. Longtime play-by-play voice Duke Keith returns for his fourth season as the voice of El Paso Locomotive FC and will be joined by Heidi Moccia for her second season in the booth as an analyst.
Saturday’s Home Opener will feature a post-game fireworks show for fans in attendance as well as a Limited Edition flag giveaway to the first 3,000 fans entering Southwest University Park when gates open at 4:30 p.m. MT.
