UEFA Champions League Round of 16 1st Legs

Good job ESPN.

 

I second that, I can't believe they are actually showing all the games I want to see between ESPN2 and ESPN classic.

 

I can't remember the last time ESPN2 didn't take Man U if the game meant anything, at least since they started predominantly showing English teams a few years back. ESPN2 always has first choice, so it's not an issue of them not being able to carry it.

But Arsenal-AC Milan might be a classic!

 

thanks for the post - can't wait

 

i dont think i have any of these channels. does anyone know a good stream that ACTUALLY works? i have every streaming program, and half streams still dont work -.-

 

Only one math is missing, and that's Schalke/Porto on Tuesday. I hope someone picks it up.

Setanta Broadband (I don't know if it's available in canada). If you're in Canada TSN and RDS will be showing some games, I imagine TLN will also show any game involving italian teams.

edit:
TSN will not be showing a live match on tuesday but will be airing the liverpool game at midnight, and the madrid game the next day at 12:30 PM. Celtic vs. Barcelona will be on at 3:30 AM wednesday night, and arsenal vs milan will be on thursday afternoon at 12:30.

RDS is showing the liverpool game live, and on thursday they are showing Arsenal/Milan live.

TLN is showing the liverpool game live, and the madrid game delayed right after it. then thursday they are showing arsenal/milan.

Edit: TSN may have changed their schedule. I got this info off of the TSN web site.

 

Hey, this is the site I usually use to find out which matches are showing on which channels in both the US and Canada....
however, it would be best to check back at the site on Sunday or Monday of next week to see if any changes have occured....

For the Canadians: Alternatively, if you have digital channels in Canada....tsn carries other matches on their alternate digital channels (which aren't listed on this site).
So for instance, I believe that the Barcelona match will probably be on live on the alternate digital channel, while the Milan-Arsenal match is on the main (and non-digital) tsn channel.

Thanks for letting everyone know. Yeah setanta is available in Canada, however I'm not sure if we get the same options as the US

 

No love for Schalke - Porto??

 

I have Rogers:
TSN were suppose to show it but for some reason they're not
setanta (ch. 429) are showing chelsea - olymp. at 2:30 est
sports preview channel (ch. 401) will be showing the full liverpool - inter game (they have done this for a while now)

 

Anyone else see that this season again they will be showing the UCL matches on tape delay because of Curling?

 

Argggggh....is that why there's no live game? They shouldn't even bother getting the rights to the CL, because I find that whenever the knockout rounds commence....this ish happens.
If you have rogers in Ontario try channels 204 or 401....usually they show one match on both of those alternate channels, but that's because they're showing a match on channel 30. Since they're not (due to curling) they may be showing two different matches

 

well first of all, channels 204 and 401 are the same channel. and they will be showing liverpool - inter

 

The DirecTV on-screen guide lists this match on Setanta and ESPN Deportes. Take care.

 

My personal list. Live and FIRST delayed airings in the US and Canada. Hope it helps.

All times US Eastern.

You're right, messed up tsn and curling. Who has to wait until 3:30am the next day to watch Barca? :S Thanks everyone.
Yeah 204 and 401 are the same channels....my bad.

 

Here is our the listing from our schedules today:

2:30pm P2P, RDS, TSN Liverpool vs Inter Milan
*Round of 16 - Leg #1 En vivo UEFA Champions League

2:35pm ESPN2, P2P, TLN Liverpool vs Inter Milan
*Round of 16 - Leg #1 En vivo UEFA Champions League

2:45pm P2P, Setanta Sports, Setanta Sports Canada Olympiacos vs Chelsea
*Round of 16 - Leg #1 En vivo UEFA Champions League

2:45pm ESPN 360, ESPND, P2P Roma vs Real Madrid
**Round of 16 - Leg #1 En vivo UEFA Cup

Cheers.
2:45pm P2P, Setanta Premium Schalke vs FC Porto
**Round of 16 - Leg #1 En vivo UEFA Cup

 

Those last 2 should be UEFA Champions League, not UEFA Cup

 

Anyone knows what the 2nd Leg schedule will be?

 

IT's not "$hit" . It's the correct move by TSN. Curling is one of the most popular sports in Canada and only has 2 big weeks each year where there are major national tournaments going on. Many many Canadians circle this week on their calendar when the Scott Tournament of Hearts takes place.

OTOH, the Champions League drags on for about 9 months and most of the first-leg matches are usually pretty boring anyway...
