Gotham FC’s home match against Angel City FC will now air nationally on on Sunday at Sports Illustrated Stadium. The game had originally been scheduled to air on ABC.
The shift gives the match a national window instead of the ABC slot that had been listed earlier, and it comes with the kickoff date already fixed for Sunday in Jersey City, N.J. Gotham FC announced the change on Oct. 3, 2026, giving the broadcast update a clear place in the calendar rather than leaving it to drift into game day.
That is the part that makes the move matter. This is not a new date, a new venue or a new opponent. It is the same Gotham FC and Angel City FC matchup, but with a different network carrying it to viewers across the country. For fans, that means the game’s reach changes even though the setting does not.
What Gotham FC did not say is why the match was moved from ABC to. That missing detail is the friction in an otherwise straightforward announcement. The schedule changed, the network changed, but the reason for the switch did not come with it.
For now, the only certainty is the one that matters most to anyone following the fixture: Gotham FC will host Angel City FC on Sunday at Sports Illustrated Stadium, and the match will air nationally on.
