BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — ESPN has sublicensed U.S. rights to up to 74 Premier League games in each of the next three seasons from Fox Soccer Channel.
Under the deal announced Wednesday, ESPN can televise matches in the United States on ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, ESPN3.com and ESPN Mobile TV.
Last season, ESPN televised 46 Premier League matches under a sublicense from Fox, which has been broadcasting the EPL in the U.S. since 1998.
ESPN’s U.S. coverage begins Saturday with the Premier League opener, which has Manchester City at Tottenham, starting at 7:45 a.m. EDT.
