Football Federation Australia revealed the match details for all fixtures on Tuesday with Redlands to host Guillermo Amor’s side at Perry Park on Wednesday, 3 August.
As well as broadcasting one match live and exclusive in full on each match day, Fox Sports will also LIVE stream and provide updates and crosses of all other matches including fellow PlayStation® 4 National Premier Leagues sides FNQ FC Heat and Brisbane Strikers.
Both teams are in action on opening night as Heat welcome Northern NSW outfit Edgeworth Eagles to Barlow Park in Cairns on Wednesday, 27 July in what will be their first home match in three years of the competition.
Strikers are bidding to reach the Round of 16 for the second time but must contend with a Northern Territory road trip to meet Darwin Rovers FC.
