Solar-type stars have been observed to flare at optical wavelengths to energies much higher than observed for the Sun. To date, no counterparts have been observed at longer wavelengths. We have searched the the VLA Sky Survey (VLASS) for radio emission associated with a sample of 150 single, solar-type stars previously been observed to exhibit superflares in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Counterparts to six of these stars were present in VLASS as transient or highly variable radio sources. One of the stars is detected in all three epochs, exhibiting an unprecedented level of apparently persistent radio emission. The engine for this radio emission is unclear, but may be related to accretion, a binary companion, or the presence of large-scale magnetic field. Two stars show radio emission with >50 circular polarization fraction, indicating a coherent emission process likely being present. We find that the six VLASS-detected stars tend to have higher flare rates and higher flare energies of our TESS sample. This, in addition to the VLASS-detected stars adhering to the Gudel-Benz relation, suggest that the radio emission may be directly associated with superflares. These results confirm that the superflare phenomenon on solar-type stars extends to radio wavelengths, in this instance tracing particle acceleration. These data provide the first window on the luminosity function of radio superflares for solar-type stars and highlights the need for coordinated, multi-wavelength monitoring of such stars to fully illustrate the stellar flare-particle relation.
