Where to watch the best soccer games on US television networks, including ESPN, Fox Soccer and Telefutura. All times Eastern.
Soccer News of the Week:
* It’s official – David Beckham is staying in the MLS. He signed a two-year contract with the LA Galaxy, despite interest from clubs in England, Italy and France. Becks cited family as the primary reason for the decision. “My family and I are incredibly happy and settled in America, and we look forward to spending many more years here.” According to ESPN, one option Beckham retained in the new deal is the ability to purchase an MLS franchise when his playing days are over. “I’ve seen first hand how popular soccer is now in the States and I’m as committed as ever to growing the game here.”
* Soccer in the US reaches another milestone this weekend, when FOX airs the first-ever live Premier League match on US broadcast network television. FOX will feature Arsenal vs. Manchester United on Sunday, Jan. 22, with coverage beginning at 10:30 a.m., to kick off NFC Championship Sunday. (Check your local FOX schedule here.)
* The USMNT plays two friendlies this week, against Venezuela on Saturday, Jan. 21 at 9 p.m. and Panama on Wednesday, Jan. 25 at 8:30 p.m. Both games air on Galavision and ESPN3. With Tim Howard, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan and other international stars busy with club duties, the USMNT lineup will be MLS-heavy. It will also be a great opportunity for Jurgen Klinsmann to continue testing new players.
