I’ve never posted mid-week television schedules before, but I couldn’t resist for a few reasons. The most important reason is that there is so much football on television over the next few days between the UEFA Champions League, Copa Sudamericana, CONCACAF Champions League and midweek matches in England and the United States (and first broadcasts of this weekend’s SPL action on Setanta USA). Secondly, I haven’t posted in several days, so I’m due. Finally, I’m going to be travelling a lot in the near future, so I just bought a MatchBook Pro and I wanted to test out posting from it before I hit the road.
What I have below is the television schedule for the next few days and needs very little explanation, but I’ll give a little bit anyway, just in case. The rankings next to the team name come, of course, from the most recent WCR Top 25 rankings. It also is worth noting that ALL of the UEFA Champions League matches will be shown over the next few days on FSC. The times and channels that I am showing below are the EARLIEST broadcast times that I can find for each match, but if you just sit in front of your television for the next two days and tune into FSC, you’ll see them all (and a lot more), I promise.
One last note. “FSN” below refers to Fox Sports Network, which provides regional coverage all over the United States. That’s it, except for the matches. Have a great . . . midweek!!!
