How does this impact soccer fans in the United States?
Right now, it makes no difference. ESPN acquiring the rights in the UK will have no influence over the United States since the rights are sold separately in each international market. But what the news does prove is that ESPN is now serious again about soccer coverage. And this could mean that ESPN may be willing to mount a serious bid for Premier League TV rights in the US when they’re available for bidding later this Fall.
Earlier today, ESPN announced that they have made an agreement with GolTV to show some La Liga matches on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes beginning this summer for the next three seasons.
