In fact, you’ll be able to enjoy five hours of continuous soccer coverage on Tuesdays when Champions League matches are scheduled.

The TV schedules are subject to change based on each regional FSN network due to local coverage and blackouts. The schedule is not complete, but it shows you a preview of what to expect during a typical two week period.
When Champions League matches are shown, you’ll be able to see five hours of continuous soccer coverage beginning with a Premier League match (replayed from the prior weekend) followed by the Champions League pre-game show and then followed by a Champions League match itself.
Plus, on Tuesdays when sports broadcasts such as baseball may be televised, there’s a very good chance that a Champions League match will be shown on delay from earlier that day.
Last week, we broke the news that the Premier League Review Show was returning to FSN. Plus our sister site Major League Soccer Talk described in more detail in April how acquisition of the Champions League TV rights by Fox Soccer Channel would also help FSN.
To watch as much Champions League coverage next season as possible, you’ll need Fox Soccer Channel, FSN and Setanta Sports (for broadband coverage).
Besides the Champions League, the increased coverage of the Premier League by FSN will definitely help promote the league (and Fox Soccer Channel) throughout the United States and will increase visibility for the league.
