    Default English Football (soccer :) ) on American TV

    Is there any?

    A friend of mine is doing a year at an American Uni as part of his Modern History degree but is missing his footy terribly. When I was last over in the states I caught some live games (4 years ago or so) but I can't remember which channel carried it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    TIA

    probably on espn or something... I loot directv up here in Canada and I get a lot of games.. actually there are games on digital cable too, but really, why pay for it?

    anyway, the point of this post is that its probably on ESPN or some speciality channel

    look up the spanish channels, if anywhere they would be playing them. be lucky if espn plays soccer out of the MLS season more than once a week if that.

    You cannot see the EPL on ESPN/ESPN 2. Check out Fox Sports World as others said, and on saturday's you can check out some great games on PPV @ 10:00 A.M EST.

    I love the EPL, and am an avid football fan.

    Hi.

    I also know you can get the PPV package for the PremierShip for the whole season. It all depends which PPV provider you have.

    This one is for DishNetwork,
