The only preseason game that will not be available to stream will be the April 7th fixture against USL club Phoenix Rising.
Due to COVID protocols, truck & crew availability in AZ, logistics with LA/COL, streaming preseason matches in Tucson is TBD. I should have final answer in a week or two.
Only thing I can say with certainty is PHX game will not be streamed. Rising said no thanks. https://t.co/jCIh92HzKR

On March 3rd, Senior Director of Broadcasting and Digital Tweeted that the Phoenix “game will not be streamed. Rising said no thanks.”
RSL was open to streaming all games until Phoenix Rising decided it would be in the best interest of them to not have the game broadcast.

Nonetheless, RSL fans can anticipate two preseason fixtures that will hopefully provide enough entertainment to get them through until the season starts on April 24th with a road trip to Minnesota.
The first home game of the 2021 MLS season for RSL will be against arch-rivals Sporting Kansas City on May 1st with kickoff scheduled for noon.
