To my surprise this morning (Saturday August 1st) they were showing a Swiss Super League game on both their channels. Interestingly enough I had forgotten they had the rights to that league.

 

They also bave the rights to the Russian league.

 

I dont believe they still do unless something changed the last few days. There have been no rpl sightings anywhere.

 

Ngsn has the russian rights per their website

 

Even though ngsn has the russian league bein still shows a game once in a while.

 

This season is 3 weeks old. No rpl on bein. Ngsn is the only place to find it this year.

 

Here's the Week 1 La Liga schedule:

Friday August 21:
Malaga-Sevilla at 2:30 P.M.

Saturday August 22:
Deportivo La Coruna-Real Sociedad at 12:30 P.M.
Atletico Madrid-Las Palmas at 2:30 P.M.
Rayo Vallecano-Valencia at 4:30 P.M.

Sunday August 23:
Levante-Celta de Vigo at 11:00 A.M.
Granada-Eibar at 11:00 A.M.
Espanyol-Getafe at 11:00 A.M.
Athletic Bilbao-Barcelona at 12:30 P.M.
Sporting Gijon-Real Madrid at 2:30 P.M.
Real Betis-Villarreal at 4:30 P.M.

Does anybody agree with me that it doesn't make sense to start three games 90 minutes before Barcelona? Why not start those games at 10:30 A.M.? If every week will be like that week, the Sunday 6:00 A.M. start time has been eliminated. If Barcelona is shown from the beginning live on both channels, BeIN Spanish will have to show the three 11:00 A.M. games delayed or not at all. This means that on August 22, BeIN will have to choose between Atletico Madrid and the 2:45 P.M. Serie A game and on August 23 if Real Madrid is shown on both channels the 2:45 P.M. Serie A game will be delayed or not shown.

I've seen the matchups but not start times for Week 2.

 

Normally spanish and italian schedules for the first couple of weeks are different because it's peak of the summer and extremely hot so no early games. It normally settles after the first international break in September, so I wouldn't read too much into this.

 

Last year la liga didn't start the noon kicks until September. It's a heat thing

 

The heat thing doesn't explain the strange 30-minute overlap. I'm pretty sure they didn't have that last season. They just had the games kick-off at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00 ET.

Edit: Never mind, those 3 games listed for 11:00 ET are unconfirmed. They'll almost certainly be changed to avoid this overlap, @EvanJ .

 

All the schedules I have seen posted on various sites (BBC, ESPN, Sky, etc.) all list the same times/fixtures for the opening weekend of La Liga:

Friday 21st August 2015
8:30 pm CET/2:30 pm EST - Málaga vs. Sevilla

Saturday 22nd August 2015
6:30 pm CET/12:30 pm EST - Deportivo de La Coruña vs. Real Sociedad
6:30 pm CET/12:30 pm EST - Espanyol vs. Getafe
8:30 pm CET/2:30 pm EST - Atletico Madrid vs. Las Palmas
10:30 pm CET/4:30 pm EST - Rayo Vallecano vs. Valencia

Sunday 23rd August 2015
6:30 pm CET/12:30 pm EST - Athletic Bilbao vs. Barcelona
8:30 pm CET/2:30 pm EST - Sporting de Gijón vs. Real Madrid
10:30 pm CET/4:30 pm EST - Levante vs. Celta de Vigo
10:30 pm CET/4:30 pm EST - Real Betis vs. Villarreal

Monday 24th August 2015
8:30 pm CET/2:30 pm EST - Granada CF vs. Eibar

 

In June I posted that Javier Tebas (LFP president) announced that kickoff times would be different from last season.
http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/bein-sport-cont-again.1973585/page-115#post-32395998

Judging by the first two weeks of the season it appears (for the moment) that all matches will start at the bottom of the hour rather than the top of the hour as had been custom.
MARCA
(Also confirmed on the LFP website)

 

I used http://us.soccerway.com/national/spain/primera-division/20152016/regular-season/r31781/ which now matches what tideman posted. Apparently the 11:00 A.M. start time was listed for games with start time to be announced like Saturday at 10:00 A.M. is originally listed for EPL games some of which get moved earlier or later.

 

If you guys used www.soccertvblog.com for kickoff times, you would have had those times well before the other sites!!

 

So they're showing Champions League qualifying this afternoon. But of course both BeIN channels are showing the same match - Monaco v Young Boys. Unfortunately the contest is pretty much over since Monaco won the first leg 3-1.

Might seem logical to have shown the Ajax match on at least one channel as everything is still to play for in that second leg, not to mention its just a simply more appealing match from a neutral POV (big stadium ,good atmosphere, etc.).

 

Do they own the rights? Don't networks have to buy qualifying ties a la carte?

 

I think his point is because they all cost $1 plus transmission costs, they should have bought another game.

 

Ah. Sure!

 

Championship or not, disappointed to see live football being booted out of a live slot to show Cycling in the opening weekend of the season.

 

Well they boot the last week of the football season for cycling so this is Bein's example of consistency. The channel is an international sports joke. Football pays their bills but they want to be something else that theyre not.
