FOX Sports International has purchased US TV rights to the Spanish Primera Division.
Coverage begins on September 14 at 6pm ET with same-day delayed coverage of Real Betis vs Real Madrid.
Does this mean Fox Sports World will begin sjowing games this weekend?

I'm wondering the same thing. Is FSI just the company name or is it an actual channel?

FSI is the parent company of FSW. Moving to B&M.

Thanks, Buff. Does that mean Spanish coverage will be on FSW?

It's not on their schedule yet. I think Currie Cup Rugby still occupies the slot S-TV.com says is devoted to La Liga.

Man, am I stoked. For my money, the best league in the world.
Unfortunately, I base that on results from European competitions and not actually seeing the league. :) Until now.

Anyone know if they are gonna be showing games live? Or is this a tape delay agreement due to PPV?

This is great news from FSW - a very tense, entertaining league to watch. Definately the best collection of highly skilled players.

WOW! This made my week. Plus Real Betis is my La Liga team. It will be great to see them against Real Madrid.

Outstanding! I let me cable lapse after moving; now, after hearing this, I just called AT&T to re-install this Friday.

Well, looks like I'll have to bite the bullet on a satellite or digital cable. This is too good to pass up!!!
