Watching European soccer in the USA
 
Hello :)

There must be some of you watching European soccer on cable in the USA. What is the best provider for these games and what do you get for your money?

Really I'm wondering if you get to see the premiership and champions league games cheaper in the US than in the UK? :D

Many on here may give you other providers but I've used Directv and Time Warner for ESPN for some games and Fox Soccer channel for other Premier and Euro Cup matches. Depends where you are,which state ? All live I might add

Do a search, this has been discussed many times.

I am a cheap skate, and do not have basic cable.
but I do get ESPN games included with my ISP subscription (as do many providers) but I am too lazy to get up at 4:30 for most of them.
I also use a VPN to get UK free to air TV games (good for champions league)

The only way to watch serious amounts of footy in the US is to use a provider that carries Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Soccer Plus.

There are many more EPL games on over here than in Britain, even the Saturday 3pm games are available.

As said already, there are a gazillion threads about this, search and you shall find.

It is a common question, how to watch footie in the states, for those getting cable packages to do this, it might be worth making sure you keep an eye on Al-Jazeera as it looks like they are trying to buy up lots of world soccer rights for the US market.
