Broadcasting
The Union's matches are locally televised by Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia and the The Comcast Network. WPVI-TV, Philadelphia's ABC affiliate, also airs a limited number of matches, primarily Saturday afternoon kickoffs that do not conflict with ABC network programming. WPVI's matches also air on WQMY in the Scranton/Wilkes Barre and Williamsport areas. JP Dellacamera calls the play-by-play with former Union player Alejandro Moreno calling the color commentary. Former U.S. women's national team player Heather Mitts serves as the sideline and pre-game reporter. Select matches are also nationally broadcast on ESPN2, NBC and the NBC Sports Network, and in Spanish on Telefutura.
Beginning with the 2012 MLS season, seventeen select home and road matches will be broadcast on SportsRadio 610 WIP. The Union will also collaborate with WIP on a weekly hour-long soccer show.
