Atlanta United has hired veterans Alan Green, Kevin Egan, Dan Gargan and Brittany Arnold as the team’s broadcast crew for its inaugural MLS season on Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast.
Green, of BBC Radio Sport, and Egan, of beIN sports, will split play-by-play duties. Gargan, an MLS veteran, will be the color analyst. Arnold, of beIN Sports, will be the studio host and sideline reporter.
“We’re thrilled to have such a distinguished and dynamic group of talent for our broadcasts,” Atlanta United president Darren Eales said in a team release. “With Alan’s vast experience calling major international tournaments and Kevin’s strong MLS and hosting background, they will lend a unique and qualified point of view to our play-by-play commentary. We are also very excited to welcome Dan to the team providing the perspective of a former MLS player turned analyst, as well as Brittany, who brings fantastic energy and presence to the field.”
Green, a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, has been a soccer commentator since 1982 and has served as BBC Radio Sport’s lead commentator since 1990. He has broadcast seven World Cups, among other notable tournaments. He will broadcast the Champions League final in Cardiff, Wales, before his first Atlanta United broadcast on June 17 against Columbus.
Egan, native of Dublin, Ireland, will call Atlanta United’s first five matches televised regionally, starting with an April 8 game at Toronto. He spent three seasons with the Chicago Fire (2009-11) as a commentator before joining beIN Sports.
Gargan was drafted by Colorado in 2005. He played for several teams before retiring after the 2015 season and moving to the booth as an analyst.
Arnold has been an on-air host for beIN Sports pre-match and post-match shows.
Nineteen Atlanta United games will be broadcast on either Fox Sports South or Fox Sports Southeast. The studio show, Atlanta United: Match Week, will start on April 4.
