Riverhounds SC’s home game against Indy Eleven this Wednesday, July 6, will be broadcast nationally as part of SiriusXM’s USL Championship coverage.
The 7 p.m. match at Highmark Stadium will air on SiriusXM FC, Channel 157, and it will be the Hounds’ first national appearance this year.
The Hounds (8-6-3) are looking to climb back into the top four of the Eastern Conference with a win, while Indy (6-7-3) is just three points outside the playoff line.
If history is any indicator, the match should be a good one for the SXM audience.
Pittsburgh is 4-3-2 all-time against Indy, and eight of the nine matches have been decided by a goal or fewer.
