A-League soccer moves to ESPN3 in United States

In the past few years, live matches from the Australian top flight A-League have aired in the United States on FOX Sports 2, FOX Soccer Plus and One World Sports. And now for the 2016/17 season, matches will be shown exclusively via ESPN3.

The new season began October 7 and will run through May 7, 2017 for the A-League Grand Final. Sydney FC has already taken a commanding lead atop the A-League table having won all of their first three matches.

Gameweek 4 of the Australian A-League kicks off this weekend with several being shown live on ESPN3 and Sling Orange (see below). We’ve also included other A-League games scheduled to appear on ESPN3 in subsequent weeks:
