    sure. games are usually on Fox Soccer Plus. Might not be every week, though. Some may also be online on ESPN3

    I don't remember any games being on ESPN3 this past season, though some were on there 2 seasons ago (when Newcastle were in the championship, they were almost on ESPN3 weekly). This past season... Fox Soccer Channel/Fox Soccer Plus/Foxsoccer.tv all got a few games every weekend if I recall correctly.

    Does Comcast offer Fox Soccer Plus?

    It's a fantastically entertaining league so I hope it soon spreads to the US in terms of coverage.

    It all has to do with the tv rights allocated to the npower championship. They show a lot of games on Sky (one maybe two a week) but I just wish I could watch a lot more of these Championship matches here in the states. I get to watch Watford once, maybe twice a year if I'm lucky.

    There was just about always a game on at 12:30 Saturday on Fox Sports Plus. Also Taped delay at 5 PM was a common occurrence.

    As a Swans fan I saw Swansea play 17 times this past year. Most of those were down the stretch as the promotion race went to an exciting conclusion.

    In 09-10 it was just about Newcastle just about every week.

    Also a number of match show up at weird time on TD and mid week.

    This is good to know. I just hope Comcast offers Fox Soccer Plus. Or hopefully there will be Championship matches on FoxSoccer.tv.

    BBC shows about 10 Championship games a year, plus Carling Cup and a highlights package every Saturday (every goal in all League matches). First live broadcast this season is West Ham v Cardiff Sunday at 1245 UK time.

    All you need to watch the Beeb from North America is a VPN. I pay 5 quid a month for mine, but others get free service (with ads) from Expat Shield.

    A lot of championship games come on Fox Soccer plus. I've pretty much come to realize that as of now we get just as many games on television as they do in England. ESPN3 broadcasts just about any premier league game, FSC and FSC plus broadcasts a lot of championship league. If you don't have that channel, I usually find live online streams that without a doubt are available if the game is being televised. firstrowsports.eu is the website

    Shame is that Fox Soccer Plus isn't offered on Cox Communications. Which is what I unfortunately have :(

    I have Cox Cable and they have Fox Soccer Plus. The shame is that the Championship is now on BeIn sports channel if I am not mistaken which Cox indeed does not offer as of yet.

    Is the Championship still on Fox Soccer Plus - anybody have any idea whether Watford vs Leeds will be shown this coming Saturday - online schedule does not show it as on but possibly they will realize the error of this decision??? It is on Sky Sports in UK.

    I can't seem to find the Championship final listed on its website, instead it says that La Liga will air on Monday during the time slot and not Palace-Watford. Does anyone know where in the US I can watch on Monday?
