We’ve posted the Kansas City Royals spring broadcast schedule, with television games on FOX Sports Kansas City and radio broadcasts on 610 Sports Radio and royals.com.
FOX Sports Kansas City will broadcast 10 Royals spring-training games. Ryan Lefebvre, now in his ninth season as the lead play-by-play voice on FSKC, will team with fellow broadcasters Steve Physioc and Rex Hudler for the exhibition telecasts. The March 16 telecast against San Diego in Peoria, AZ, and the April 1 game against the Rangers in Arlington, TX, will be co-produced with the FOX affiliates of the host teams.
