Don't forget the Admirals, DockHounds and Madison FC: The other Wisconsin sports teams you can watch on TV
Watching sports on television can be more complicated than it should be. Where can you watch the Milwaukee Bucks playoff games? What about the Brewers? Why does the Bally Sports app test your patience and fandom?
But did you know there are other Wisconsin professional sports teams that fans can watch from home (if they have the right packages)?
The Milwaukee Admirals, Lake Country DockHounds and Forward Madison FC all have TV deals to allow fans to keep up with the team from their homes.
Playoff hockey with the Milwaukee Admirals
Sure, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are currently underway but in Milwaukee, it’s the Admirals that take the ice.
After an incredibly successful regular season, the Admrials are taking on the Texas Stars for a best of five series in the Central Division semifinals.
Game 3, on May 8, is scheduled to be on My24.
For the last four seasons, the Admirals have roughly 10 games broadcast on the channel.
“We are excited to partner with My24 to bring our games to local TV here in southeastern Wisconsin,” Admirals President Jon Greenberg said in September. “Having our games on TV is a great way to spread the Admirals brand and to introduce people to the excitement of Admirals hockey.”
Lake Country DockHounds inaugural broadcast
Independent team, Lake Country DockHounds, will make its television debut on June 1 at 6 p.m., on My24 against the Kane County Cougars. The team will be on TV two more times on July 13 and Aug. 10 at 6 p.m.
“We are excited to add the Lake Country DockHounds to our growing roster of local sports programming,” said Rocky Wagonhurst, Vice President and General Manager, CW18 & My24 Milwaukee. “Our broadcasts reflect our community and providing access to the DockHounds for free over the-the-air is another example of our commitment to serving the Milwaukee area.”

The DockHounds play in the American Association of Professional Baseball, the same league as the Milwaukee Milkmen.
“Having our team accessible to anyone that wants to see what we are about is very important to the organization,” said Bryan Giese, director of marketing for the DockHounds. “We want people to see how exciting our team is, how entertaining being at a game can be, and to grow our brand throughout the area. As we continue to build our fan base, we are happy to be partnering with My24 as they continue to grow their sports viewership.”
Forward Madison FC on ESPN+ and CBS Sports
While My24 is a great place to check out sports if you live locally, it can be hard to follow teams if you live outside of the area.
For soccer fans, and specifically Forward Madison FC supporters, ESPN+ has them covered.

Forward Madison has had matches broadcasted on ESPN+ since 2019. The United Soccer League, the league Forward Madison plays in, has an agreement with ESPN.
The club will also be shown on CBS Sports on July 3 when Forward Madison will be on the road to take on the Richmond Kickers at 7 p.m. in the Henny Derby, which celebrates the fandom of Black supporters in the sport.
