Title: FIFA World Cup on TV in the US?
Post by: Poof! on June 09, 2006, 05:18:58 AM
Does anyone in the US know which channels will carry the FIFA World Cup? ??? ESPN2 only airs a few selected, I want to watch pretty much all of them, but have never done so in the US. HELP!  :-\

Heh heh....

I think you're only going to find select games on TV.  I don't think there is a "complete" FIFA broadcast in the US.  Possibly one of the PPV companies does it via some sort of package, but not on broadcast TV, as far as I know.

I hear ESPN Classic will air every game at some point, so keep your attention turned there.

ABC, ESPN and ESPN 2 will carry ALL the games.  And you can catch the ones you missed on ESPN Classic in the evenings!
And don't forget the Spanish language channels, like Univision and Telemundo.  It's worth watching it on those channels just to hear the guy say GOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLLL!!!!

Thanks for all the replies, guys! I did a search on my cable box and it seems I'm gonna have to sit down and chart and extensive world cup channel guide, because the games are gonna be on ten different channels, ESPN, local channels and so on...  ::)
