Ok, so does anyone know exactly which network finally secured to rights to broadcast EPL games to the US???? :confused:
I need to know for sure so I know what packages to add to my DirecTV. Thanks.

Fox Soccer, Fox Sports en Espanol and Setanta all carry EPL games although the Fox channels and Setanta carry different games. Look at their websites for listings.

Hmm good question. I just signed up with Direct TV and now that ESPN won rights I'm not sure who's showing what. I have FSC and Setanta (and Setanta-I).
Where are ESPN games showing?
and the even bigger questions "Where can I watch the Chelsea v Hull City game showing 12:45 EST"
Helllllppp online or TV

ESPN do not have rights to show EPL matches in the US. The rights that previously had belonged to Setanta only pertain to the UK.

ESPN bought the rights off Setanta North America to do Saturday 7:45 AM US EDT and Monday 3 PM US EDT matches. You know what this means?
One less hour of the douchenozzle known as Cowheard. Starts with Hull-Chelsea this Saturday (8/15).

As of yesterday, this still hasn't been confirmed. ESPN and FSC are still haggling over it, it seems.
