SAGINAW & BRIGHTON, Mich. — The Michigan State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA) has announced a new broadcast partnership with National Soccer Network (NSN) that will bring comprehensive, high-quality live coverage of the 2026 Spring and Fall MSYSA State Cup competitions to fans, families, and the broader soccer community.

Under the agreement, NSN will serve as the official broadcast partner for both State Cup weekends, with matches streamed live from Saginaw, Michigan (Spring State Cup) and Brighton, Michigan (Fall State Cup). The partnership builds on a successful working relationship between MSYSA and NSN that has already included multiple State Cup final weekends.

“MSYSA views State Cup as the premier event that it is, and National Soccer Network shares that same mindset,” said MSYSA leadership. “Their preparation, research, commentary, graphics, and use of instant replay consistently elevate the broadcast experience and showcase our teams, players, and clubs at the highest level.”

NSN’s broadcasts will feature:

Professional live commentary
Custom on-screen graphics for all match scenarios
Instant replay
Simultaneous multi-field coverage
Reliable remote and on-site production capabilities

In previous State Cup broadcasts, NSN successfully delivered multiple games at once while prioritizing MSYSA events—even while managing dozens of other live broadcasts on the same day—ensuring a seamless experience for players, coaches, and viewers alike

“We are proud to continue strengthening our partnership with MSYSA,” said Jonathan Turner, Founder of National Soccer Network. “State Cup represents the pinnacle of youth soccer in Michigan, and our goal is to reflect that importance through professional storytelling, top-tier production, and a broadcast experience that honors the athletes competing.”

The 2026 partnership reinforces MSYSA’s commitment to expanding access to State Cup matches for families, college coaches, and supporters who are unable to attend in person, while also providing a lasting digital record of Michigan’s top youth soccer moments.

Additional broadcast details, schedules, and viewing information will be announced closer to each event.
