I guess FSW dropped it's coverage of the Dutch top-flight. Anyone know what they will be covering on a regular basis? I tried to go to soccertv.com but the site was down, I think.

If this season's like the past years, they don't have any idea what they'll be covering regularly. Clearly, the SPL will not be back, what with their TV debacle. Now that Sky owns Nationwide League rights, that seems fairly likely to appear. But apart from that, it's probably very much up in the air.

Oh, and Oliver's site is down?

I'm so sad to hear that.

I was just about to post a thread asking a similar question.

The FSW website http://www.foxsportsworld.com/world/ is looking pretty slim these days. I wanted to find what their telvised league lineup would look like this fall. Looking ahead at their schedule, it looks like:

EPL
Argentine League
German Bundesliga
USL A-League
Brazilian League
US Open Cup - Quaterfinals and on

Anything else confirmed? The Scottish League started last week and is not found here. French Legaue? Dutch League? No Serie A again this season. There was speculation about some Nationwide Legaue games making it on FSW. UEFA Cup games - starting what round?

Can anyone add to my meager list of leagues

From what I have read mainly because several leagues don't even have their domestic contracts sorted out yet so it's kind of hard to sell US rights.

Folks, relax.

Fox Sports World has this habit of covering a league starting in mid-season. With the debacle in the European TV contracts right now, it is wiser to wait for a little while to find out what's on FSW and what's not.

No SPL this week? There wasn't even SPL coverage on Setanta this past weekend. Imagine the Rangers Supporter Clubs and Celtic Supporter Clubs getting no coverage on their season openers. If these folks didn't see the games, why do you expect the game will be on FSW? Heck, FSW is simply using their feeds.

BTW, SPL coverage on Setanta will start in week 2.

This is a pointless topic.

Are you guys aware that FSW and SkySports are owned by the same company?

go to www.soccer.com and type in your area code and it will give you the games that are going to be played in your area for the next week or so. I saw that there was going to be a rerun of a SPL game sometime in the near future........ Or was I dreaming?
