I'm sitting at home this afternoon flipping channels and find Chelsea playing Blackburn Rov on FSN. Anyone know if there is set schedule of matches they show?

I bought my first version of FM\WSM last year and became interested in watching matches and on occasion was able to find one on FSN. But I'll be damned if I can find any kind of regular time when a match will be on. It seems more like "we have some open time on Tuesday afternoon so let's fill it with some football".

saturday and sunday they usually have live games also usually a midweek game or two is on and put and replayed thru the week, you used to be able to watch fox football friday and get the whole schedule for the week, i guess you should check out fox football fone-in tonight at 8pm est they probally will go over everything for thru the weekend, they did last week (i prefered the friday night airtime though)

condors: he's not watching Fox Soccer Channel, he's talking about them showing a weekly game or two on the regional Fox Sports Net stations.

and no, i don't know a regular schedule, Sweed.

FSC Schedules (only in PDF form) on this page:

Good all-in-one site that lists games by day or channel (this doesnt catch all the re-runs though)
http://www.livesoccertv.com/fixtures.php


For general reference the games on FSC are:

Saturday 10AM EST - Live
Saturday 12PM EST - Live
Saturday 2.15PM EST - delayed game from 10AM

Sunday 11AM - Live

Weekday game coverage varies, and i'm not sure if Setanta or FSC gets first choice on those. I believe if there are multiple games going on any given weekday, that FSC is assured of having one.

It's almost always the 11am Sunday game.

If you look at a couple of weeks, you might be able to establish some sort of pattern.

thanks for the replies and links. I'd like to get the fox soccer channel but I spend enough on my hobbies, not sure if I could sneak it in. Even my wife has a limit :)

You've got Marc Vaughn, Duffy, and the rest of the FM crew to thank for that;)

Before FM I had never really given football a chance. Now after FM and learning
a lot about the game I have become a fan.
