Yes of course. FoxSportsGo. So am I correct that the watch-from-beginning feature doesn't exist in the Go version? Just the MatchPass version?

 

As far as I know, just on Match Pass which keeps the games archived as well.

In the day-by-day listings, ESPN mistakenly said "USA vs. Costa Rica."

ESPN has bought broadcasting rights to Formula 1 for the United States. Except for a few exceptions, races will air live on ESPN2.

So don't expect ESPN to add European football leagues soon.

 

Any European soccer will be on their pay streaming tier.

Thx,

Jay

 

Good news for Formula 1 fans. NBC have done a terrible job of covering Formula 1!
Also good news for EPL fans as sometimes there was a scheduling conflict and Formula 1 got priority.

Is this starting in 2018?

 

^ Yup, 2018 schedule already released. Lax had a link in the NBC thread

Do you think so? I have read several American motorsports fans very happy with NBC coverage of F1.

 

Jonathan Tannenwald‏ @thegoalkeeper -

ESPN's coverage of the final day of the MLS regular season will be a whip-around show only in English, and Houston-Chicago on ESPN Deportes. From where I sit it's a smart move by ESPN. The drama is in everything happening at once, not a single match. It'll be shown that way. Last year’s Decision Day was split over multiple channels. ESPN, ESPN2 and FS1. It split the audience too much.

ESPN will conclude its coverage of the 2017 Major League Soccer regular season with MLS Decision Day - a LIVE two-hour whiparound show with highlights and look-ins to all 11 Major League Soccer matches played concurrently across the league. MLS Decision Day will air on ESPN beginning at 4:00 pm ET.

MLS Decision Day Storylines:

• San Jose (43 points - vs Minnesota United), FC Dallas (43 points - vs LA Galaxy) and Real Salt Lake (42 points - vs Sporting Kansas City) are playing for the last MLS Cup Playoff spot in the Western Conference.
• Toronto FC at 68 points is chasing the MLS regular season points record - the most points by a team in the season.
• Four MLS Eastern Conference Teams playing to improve their playoff standings and chasing the second round bye.
• With 24 goals in the season, Chicago Fire’s Nemanja Nikolic has a comfortable three-goal lead for the Golden Boot honors - player with the most goals in the season. Will Nikolic face any challenge for the boot on MLS Decision Day?

ESPN Deportes will televise the Houston Dynamo (Western Conference) vs. Chicago Fire (Eastern Conference) LIVE Sunday, October 22 at 4:00 pm ET as both teams vie to improve their playoff positions in their respective conferences. The Fire features 2014 FIFA World Cup champions Bastian Schweinsteiger and the league’s leading goal-scorer Nikolic.

Adrian Healey will host and be joined by analysts Taylor Twellman, Alejandro Moreno and former New England Revolution manager Jay Heaps. Reporter Julie Stewart-Binks will report from the San Jose Earthquakes vs. Minnesota United match.

Ok. That makes sense if you're a generalist MLS fan wanting to see how things settle out, especially in the Western Conference.

But what if you just want to watch your team play their last game? I hope ESPN's whiparound doesn't negate the other channels' rights to broadcast the entire game.

 

You will be able to watch it on that teams main channel - thats if you get the channel. For example - the New York Red Bulls finale at DC United will be shown on the MSG Network. The New York City FC finale vs Columbus (to be played at Citi Field) will be shown on the YES Network.

Update - Due to a conflict with YES' Brooklyn Nets broadcast (3:30 pm ET-6:30 pm ET) on Sunday, October 22, YES' broadcast of the New York City FC match against the Columbus Crew at 4:00 pm ET will air on YES2. (LB - The soccer match will be replayed on YES once the basketball coverage ends on YES - 6:30 pm ET-9:00 pm ET.)

(I don't get it YES2 here in the Buffalo area - oh well no biggie, I'll be watching the wrap-around on ESPN anyway. If there wasn't the wrap-around - I would be watching the Bengals-Steelers football game since the match featuring my New York Red Bulls doesn't mean anything.)

 

A good 30 minutes of commercials in the midst of a two hour race. INDY car commentators based in a studio rather than on-site. Not sure how it dould get worse.(?)

 

ESPN Deportes for me then.

LEt's go FIRE!

For those with FIOS in NJ, the NYCFC game will be shown live on FIOS1 News (Channels 1/501), and on the Fox Sports Go app as well.

 

ESPN did no better with Nascar.
