Other football on TV in England?

Weather130 · 11-01-2009, 08:17 PM

Alright I was curious to know other than the various English leagues what football do you guys have on television? I am kinda curious if they broadcast the MLS games over there, even though I don't expect any of you to watch. I will list the leagues we get minus the EPL and MLS; Serie A, La Liga, German Bundesliga, Argentine league, Colombian league (limited to particular teams), Australia A league, and the Mexican league (in Spanish).

masterbrew · 11-01-2009, 08:27 PM

I aint English, but here in Denmark the most widely available leagues on TV are:

1. La Liga (part free/part basic cable)
2. Champions League (basic cable)
3. EPL (more expensive satellite + the rare match on basic cable)
4. Serie A (only expensive satellite)

Theres a quite a gap between CL and EPL.

sammeboy · 11-01-2009, 08:27 PM

They used to have Italian Serie A on Channel Five, but not anymore. Apart from that, there are 2 La Liga matches on Sky Sports every week, and a few Scottish matches on Setanta. Quite ignorant that there are only 3 leagues shown over here (4 including Coca-Cola Championship)

Black Cat Bellerby · 11-01-2009, 08:31 PM

yeah i want more leagues, Setanta has French German and Dutch Games on dont they ?

sammeboy · 11-01-2009, 08:36 PM

They do? I couldn't actually say, as I don't have it. But whenever I scroll over it on my TV, it says Live SPL most of the time.

Worst football show I have ever watched, they were basically joking around and invite unknown players to talk about MLS.

Eurogoals was great... I loved it... until my parents got rid of satellite TV before I went to Uni

Liverpöol · 12-01-2009, 12:26 PM

this is interesting

Laurencioso · 12-01-2009, 12:58 PM

In Norway we have the following options availible for football:

Norwegian Tippeliga
Norwegian Adeco Liga
Norwegian Cup
Swedish Allsvenskan
Swedish Cup
Serie A
Serie B
La Liga
Spanish Cup
Premier League
Championship
FA Cup
Carling Cup
Champions League
UEFA Cup
Russian League
Turkish League
Bundesliga
German Cup
French League 1
French League 2
French Cup
Mexican League
Danish League
Danish Cup
MLS
African Cup of Nations
Asian Cup
Japanese League
Woman's football league - Norway
U21 tournaments
U19 tournaments
Some Youth Cups
Brazilian League
Argentinian League
Dutch league
Dutch Cup

However, getting all of these will cost you a bundle in packages and single channel subscriptions. If you have a satellite you can practically get any league game you want in the entire world. A couple of people I know bought this satelite pack, and it's safe to say that if you turn on the tv, there will be at least 3 or 4 matches being played somewhere. I also saw football from malaysia once... no idea how he got that though :/

Kaka11|LFC · 12-01-2009, 01:22 PM

La Liga
copa del rey
EPL
Carling cup
FA Cup
Scottish league
Serie A
Bundesliga
French League
MLS
A-League

i cant remember them all but between Fox Sports 1, 2 and 3 + ESPN and Setanta theres alot of football

MaschPotato · 12-01-2009, 01:28 PM

For some reason i watch bits of Eredivisie matches when they're on Setanta

Danthomas2005 · 12-01-2009, 02:20 PM

Setanta has Dutch, French, German and Portuguese football..
Sky shows Spanish (but I don't have it so I'm not sure if there is more)..
Channel 5 used to have Italian football, but the majority of the games they picked were boring, and they lost viewers..
Channel 5 also plays the occasional MLS match early in the morning, and highlights too..
And Channel 4 used to have (or might still have) Goalissimo which showed highlights of football from other countries too..
