Er... almost none. Fox Sports World does show Sky Sports News, so that's the only way to see Nationwide highlights. FSW will also show the First Division playoff live. These will be the only Nationwide games on TV in the USA, I believe.
FSW is showing the playoffs, but that's because it'll be for who is in the Premiership next yr. I wish we got some Nationwide games, but what can you do?
Yup, the only ways to see lower division teams is to hope they are in the First Division playoffs or they make a good cup run. I got to see quite a few Birmingham City matches on US TV while they were in the First Division. A perennial play-off team and that super Worthington Cup run, only to lose to Liverpool on penalties. But, taking 4 points off of them this season was awfully satisfying.
The BBC website webcasts Five Live, and when I'm at work I occasionally tune in just to listen to some soccer - any soccer. I think they broadcast the Nationwide.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to these matches--just wish that the 2nd Division was on the air too!
Five Live blocks most of their commentary from the Web. Since NTL bought Web rights to almost all League games - its been tough to hear matches. However - if you have a "your club" World subscription through NTL you can listen to almost all League matches.
Thanks, Fox Sports World for showing both legs of both playoff matches. Brilliant coverage, well done. Cheers, GQ
If you are interested in hearing future matches from the divisions below the Premiership you should check out www.socceraudio.com. Go to their England section for details. You should also checkout the BBC's Football section. Down the righthand side of the page is a link they will show all webcasts on the BBC. Those include selected Nationwide League, England National, FA Cup, Worthington Cup, UEFA Cup and all Scotish Premier League matches. In fact the BBC has a few times streamed the UEFA Cup television broadcasts.
Just checked this site out, and it is BRILLIANT! Any match you might want to listen to, if it is on the net there is a link. These people deserve to be thanked for their help for us soccer nuts (of course, the only thing missing is major college soccer programs).
