Fresno Falcons Reach Broadcast Agreement With KSEE24, CBS47

KSEE24, CBS47, and KSEE24 CBS47+ announced a partnership with the Fresno Falcons that will bring the team’s games to viewers across the Central Valley beginning with the 2026-27 season.

Under the agreement, all 56 regular-season Fresno Falcons games, including home and away contests, will stream on KSEE24 CBS47+. Select games also will air on KSEE24 and CBS47, subject to network scheduling and programming availability, the news station announced.

The partnership also includes a weekly Fresno Falcons coaches show produced from the stations’ OBS Podcast Studio, player and coach appearances on station programming, digital promotion, and expanded community coverage throughout the season.

“We’re incredibly excited to partner with the Fresno Falcons and help bring professional hockey to more fans across the Central Valley than ever before,” Matt Morse, vice president and general manager of KSEE24 and CBS47, said in a statement.

Morse said the partnership combines live sports, community engagement, original content and streaming accessibility through KSEE24 CBS47+.

Falcons Return After Nearly Two-Decade Absence

The Falcons, who once packed Selland Arena decades ago with a brawling style of minor-league ice hockey, are returning after a nearly two-decade absence.

They are members of the Single-A professional Federal Prospects Hockey League, which wants to develop a West Coast footprint and eventually expand to 30 teams.

The FPHL recently announced a team in Stockton, giving the Falcons a San Joaquin Valley rival.

The 2026 FPHL Expansion Draft will take place on Tuesday, June 9, with live coverage beginning at 3:30 p.m. PT. Fans can watch the broadcast live by visiting YouTube and searching @TheFPHL, or by going directly to youtube.com/@TheFPHL.

Falcons Want to Connect With the Community

The Fresno Falcons ownership team said making the team accessible to fans throughout the region was a priority as the organization returns to Fresno.

Bryan Flores, the Falcons’ director of broadcasting and communications, called the agreement an important step in expanding access to hockey throughout the Central Valley.

“This will be an amazing opportunity to grow the game of hockey by giving families and fans from across the Central Valley easy access to not only our games throughout the regular season, but additional content as well,” Flores said.

In addition to game broadcasts, KSEE24 and CBS47 said they will provide weekly on-air promotional support, digital marketing initiatives, homepage takeovers on YourCentralValley.com, and coverage of Fresno Falcons community events and charitable initiatives.

The stations said the agreement expands local live sports programming on KSEE24 CBS47+, which features local streaming content, original programming, podcasts and live event coverage.

Additional details regarding broadcast schedules, streaming access, and the launch of Fresno Falcons coverage will be announced in the coming weeks.
