http://worldsoccertalk.com/2018/08/01/chelsea-man-city-community-shield-match-finds-home-usa/ According to World Soccer Talk, this is a one-off...no FA Cup or Serie A contract is included.
Although just a one-off, hopefully just an interim stop gap amid ongoing talks. I’d love to see FA Cup (and Serie A if the “bundling” rumors are true) on ESPN+ and not on B/R Live which is a nightmare of a site/app or on DAZN which would require another subscription.
I will feel a whole lot better as soon as I see the Community Shield listed in the watchespn schedule!
Its listed now. Although they call it “English FA cup”. Spanish super cup also listed (ESPN3 & ESPND) for 12 Aug and 15 Aug. Though the match on the 15th doesn’t exist (only one leg this year)
I subscribe to ESPN+ but will not watch this game there. I’m ok paying to watch a Championship in-season game. I’m not going to offset ESPN’s bad financial planning by letting them think they can charge money to play games between premier league teams.
