History will be made this Sunday at Audi Field when D.C. United host the New England Revolution and push for their fourth consecutive win. Sunday's match, broadcast on FS1, will feature the first-ever all-female broadcast team for a men's professional soccer game in the United States on a national sports network. 


Lisa Byington (play-by-play), Danielle Slaton (analyst), and Katie Witham (sideline) will lead the broadcast this weekend from brand-new Audi Field, with coverage starting at 7:30 PM ET.


Byington has called collegiate soccer and NWSL games throughout her play-by-play career, as well as calling men's and women's basketball for FS1 and college football for the Big Ten Network. A former soccer and basketball player at Northwestern, Byington has remained connected to both sports during her time at FOX. 


Slaton had an extended playing career that included time with Santa Clara University, the Carolina Courage, Olympique Lyonnais, and the U.S. Women's National Team. Since transitioning to the broadcast world, Slaton has served as an analyst with the Big Ten Network, FOX, and the Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes' local broadcasts. She was in the District for FS1's broadcast last Sunday, when Wayne Rooney and Luciano Acosta's last-second heroics boosted United to their unforgettable 3-2 win over Orlando City. 


Witham served as co-captain of Capital University's women's soccer team and has soccer reporting experience with Columbus Crew SC and ESPN. Witham joined Fox in January of 2017, and has since served as a sideline reporter and host for the network's MLS coverage.
