New York City FC will be relying on a local veteran broadcaster — and a friend of head coach Jason Kreis — to bring you the action on YES Network.

Sources tell EOS longtime New York soccer play-by-play man and current executive producer at SiriusXM Joe Tolleson will man the booth alongside former MLS player and BeIN analyst Ian Joy, covering all NYCFC matches on YES.

To local soccer fans, Tolleson is best known as the play-by-play announcer for the New York Red Bulls, mostly during the Metrostars years from 1996-2001. He has been a fixture at the MSG network, calling the occasional Red Bulls match and, most frequently, detailing the action with the NHL’s New York Rangers. Since then, he has headed operations at SiriusXM, spearheading their football channel, SiriusXMFC.

Joy, 33, is a former footballer and MLS player turned color commentator. After a 14-year career as a pro, he retired in 2011 and immediately began lending his voice to FC Dallas broadcasts. From there, he moved on to Al Jazeera owned BeIN Sports in 2012 where he has served as a color commentator in game broadcasts and an analysts on shows like “The Express Extra” and “The Locker Room.”

Joy also has one more, significant connection to NYCFC; he is a former player under Jason Kreis at Real Salt Lake.

The duo will debut on March 21st — the first YES Network broadcast of an NYCFC match. NYCFC opens their season this Sunday at Orlando City on ESPN, followed by their nationally televised home opener at Yankee Stadium against the New England Revolution on the 15th.
