ESPN has announced it has added former U.S. Women’s National Team star Ali Krieger to serve as a studio analyst for its soccer coverage on its many platforms.
Krieger won two World Cup titles as a member of Team USA. She previously served as the lead studio voice during ESPN’s coverage of the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Ali Krieger will make her debut on Saturday, March 16th as ABC provides coverage of the NWSL between Kansas City and Portland in the season-opening matchup.
Joining Krieger on the network’s women’s soccer commentator lineup are Jenn Hildreth, former England Women’s National Team player Lianne Sanderson, Cristina Alexander, and longtime coach Natalia Astrain.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ali, Lianne, and Natalia to our NWSL on ESPN team,” Senior Vice President of International and ESPN Deportes Production said Rodolfo Martinez. “Their fresh off-the-field insight and in-depth knowledge of the sport will inform, entertain, and elevate our coverage of the league. Collectively, their voices will represent our ambition for the NWSL.”
