Default EPL on fox sports world?

So I'm moving to a new apartment in San Diego and I have the option of getting digital cable with Fox Sports World...I can't seem to find a schedule or anything online, but what sort of EPL/European/South American football coverage would I get on FSW? Anyone, anyone...bueller?

There's no schedule for the entire season but you can find some information on the
Fox Sports World Website.

I know they'll be showing EPL, Bundesliga, and matches from Argentina. There's also been rumors they may show Nationwide (lower division) matches which would be great.

I'm just getting DirecTV this week so I'm sure someone who's had FSW for awhile can give you more details.

Question

They should be showing some of the UEFA Cup as well. Probably the matches involving English clubs.

Does anyone know if they'll be showing the Coppa Italia? The final, at least?

Thanks

Well, seldom you get live EPL matches. Every sat at like 12:00 (noon) you get an EPL match, which is technically live, just that it was played like 2 hours earlier, and you can only get the result via internet. Sundays, for the most part you get a game at like 1 afternoon. Argentine soccer in FSW is not live, it is, on the contrary, live on on FSWE. Tune up your Spanish skills, dude.
German Bundesliga is live every Sat. morning at 9:30. Le Championnat: I, persolly, was only able to watch around 3-4 matches live. Some are tape delayed just a couple hours, anyway. It's not that bad.
You don't get any better soccer coverage on home-tv in the US, anyhow.

Hope this helps.

Coppa Italia, they show a good # of matches on. Including the final, at least it's happened the last 2 years.

I heard there will be NO Le Championnat on FSW and people were complaining that the Bundesliga matches scheduled so far weren't live.

Do you have to pay extra for FSWE? I'd definitely be interested. MFL and Central and South American coverage plus highlight shows.

I think the Sunday EPL match is live so not all are tape-delayed.

Most EPL matches are shown taped delayed (about 2 hours) on Saturdays and Sundays. They also show live matches during the weekdays depending on the schedule. The August 17 programming schedule is listed here: http://www.foxsportsworld.com/world/.../fsw_epl2.htm. There should be more schedules changes coming up. Beside the EPL, they show the Bundesliga, Futebol Brasileiro and Futbol Argentino as well as rugby, Aussie Rules football and Cricket. I'm not sure FSW is showing Dutch, Scottish (probably not), French or Coppa Italia like last year. Hope this helps you.
BTW Skysports News broadcasts every night at 7pm EST (4pm PST) and 10pm EST(7pm PST) so you can follow EPL and European football news.

Thanks for the info, cj90red.

I'm positive the Eredivisie (due to lack of interest) and SPL (because of the whole TV contract mess) will not be shown this year. Not sure about Coppa Italia but I hope they show it.

I've seen Sky Sport's news show and it's excellent. Although there's highlight shows from Western Union Football and BBC America it is much more in depth.

try www.soccer.com and at the bottom of the page you can type in your zip code and it will give you all the soccer action on TV in your area. There is a rerun of an SPL game next week..........

Explain to me why some people are able to get a season package of just Saturday matches or Sunday matches but I can't. I have Indemand and they are just showing the Sunday ones. It's more expensive to but each individually.
