The New England Revolution and iHeartMedia Boston have announced a new media partnership naming WZRM (Rumba 97.7 FM) as the Spanish-language broadcast home for all 17 Revolution home games during the 2026 Major League Soccer season. The broadcasts will be available on Rumba 97.7 FM across Metro Boston and the South Shore. Coverage begins with the Revolution's home opener on Sunday, March 15 against FC Cincinnati at 2:30pm ET.

Under the agreement, Rumba 97.7 will also serve as the official radio partner for the club's annual Noche Latina e Hispana celebration on September 19 at Gillette Stadium. The partnership will include additional community initiatives in the Boston area, such as youth soccer clinics and cultural events.

"In what promises to be an unforgettable year for soccer in New England, the Revolution are happy to partner with iHeartMedia and Rumba 97.7 FM -- Boston's leading Spanish-language radio destination -- to bring the excitement of Major League Soccer to even more fans," said Revolution President Brian Bilello. He noted the station's audience adds a Spanish-language component to the club's radio network, which already features English and Portuguese broadcasts, while MLS games are also available in English and Spanish on Apple TV.

Eliseo Cierra, Program Director for Rumba 97.7, said the station will work with the team to celebrate Latino culture through music, community engagement and soccer coverage throughout the city.

Revolution home games on the station will feature a Spanish-language broadcast team with more than 50 years of combined MLS and team coverage experience. Omar Cabrera will handle play-by-play duties, joined by analysts Marcelo Briones and Juan David Rozo. The trio also called Revolution home games on Spanish radio in 2025.

The 2026 MLS season coincides with a major year for soccer in the Boston area and the U.S., as seven matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026 are scheduled to be played in nearby Foxborough from June 13 to July 9.

New England's 2026 home schedule concludes November 1 against defending MLS Cup champion Inter Miami CF, featuring Lionel Messi and Luis Su¡rez. All MLS matches will also be available for viewing on Apple TV with an MLS Season Pass subscription.
