Will all the games be on ESPN3, which is a streaming service, and none on TV?
Correct. Some of the games in the later rounds may be on TV. No news yet.
ESPN Deportes would be another possibility especially if West Ham United were involved.
Quarterfinals are in December, Semifinals (2-legs) in January, the final on the last Sunday in February.
I noticed there was a reply for someone using Dish who could watch ESPN3 without additional cost. If I subscribe to cable, can I watch ESPN3 for free?
As far as cable, the major cable companies that you can access ESPN3 via authentication are Charter Spectrum, Cox, Optimum, Suddenlink, Xfinity as well as a ton of smaller cable companies.
When are replays made available on espn3? Can you start a match in progress from the beginning? So far, not a fan of sports streaming, will espn air any matches on tv?
Hi Wentworth, replays of games are available via ESPN3 but I don’t know how long it takes for them to add games as a replay option. Also, you’re not able to rewind back to the beginning for matches that you begin to watch live in progress.
ESPN may air some games on TV in the later rounds, but the vast majority (if not all) of the games will be available via streaming.
which supersport channels are going to show d carabao cup In Nigeria.
We don’t have that information, sorry.
Which match Kwesé tv will broadcast on 24/25 of this month I mean league cup
Sorry Jimoh, we only have TV and streaming listings for the United States.
How stupid are NBC and ESPN ? Begrudgingly, I was going to ask Dish for a price on ESPN3′ then I saw in your column that it is a streaming service! What kind of idiot would pay an additional premium for any streaming?
You should be able to use your DISH subscription to log into ESPN3.com to watch that programming at no additional cost.
ESPN3 is free and easy to use…
How can we watch those matches on Dstv super sport channels in Nigeria?
just a way of getting $50 bills out of us and the fee for the rights of streamers shame on you ESPN
terrible service lots of people such as me do not know how to watch on computer,YOU ARE A TV SERVICE PUT IT ON TV LIKE BEING SPORTS DID
Why did FA agreed to ESPN showing the games online?
Where can I find the names of the two broadcasters who called the Man City/Bristol City game in Spanish on ESPN Deportes? Thank you.
Richard Mendez (pxp) and Barak Fever (analyst) were the voices of Man City vs Bristol City on ESPN Deportes. They called the match from a sound booth in Bristol, Connecticut. Both are Mexicans.
So the final isn’t on normal TV then? Just Deportes & online? That’s bad darts.
For now, yes. There’s always a chance they may add it to ESPN or ESPN2. If it changes, we’ll update the schedule.
Which channel of dstv show the today final match
ESPN proper showing final
Comment Text*
shall the dstv show live games of FA cup and CAPITAL ONE cup really
and why ESPN not supersport
Screw ESPN. They won’t show Liverpool v Chelsea on their main channels, but instead they show crap like Stephen A Smith or Will Cain or Intentional Talk. What are they? The Worldwide Leader in Gossip?
I’m really disappointed with ESPN not broadcasting the Liverpool vs Chelsea game. This a champions league match.
Is the ESPN deal for the League Cup just like the NBCSN Premier League Deal where the broadcast rights are exclusive in the US? I have LFCTVGO and am curious if the club will stream the game? Seems like they should as the game is available only to paid streaming subscribers not a standard cable arrangement.
The live League Cup rights are exclusive to ESPN+. Usually LFC TV will air their broadcast of the game about 48 hours later.
It’s mainly around 24 hours for EPL games but the ESPN arrangement is double dipping. You pay for cable tier that includes all the ESPN channels plus Disney wants additional ransom for streaming without the extra middleman.
I can understand a monthly fee straight to a service that bid for an exclusive package of games but had no other revenue stream available. But that’s not the case here and they can go sleep with Ariel and the fishes.
which TV station we show the carabao cup in Nigeria
Kwesé Sports, I think.
How do we subscribe to bein sport in East Africa to watch football matches on TV
Games are on ESPN3 for the 4th round not ESPN+
All of the League Cup games are on ESPN+, not ESPN3. The German Cup games are on ESPN3.
My mistake ..
It says here the Southampton game will be on ESPN+ but I can’t see it anywhere in the schedule on ESPN
yep; still not seeing it on espn.com/watch
I have a message in to ESPN to find out what’s up, but I can’t find it either.
ESPN+ confirmed it’s not being shown. You can listen to an audio commentary of the match at https://southamptonfc.com/matches/2018-19/carabao-cup/leicester-v-saints-2018-11-27
Do you think they were required not to show due to competition with UEFA matches? Or just elected not to but world feed was actually available? If the latter, it’s a very very strange decision given they paid for the rights and are charging us for the service!
It sounds like they either overlooked it or the game wasn’t available internationally.
Was available in many countries. So overlooked? I would never “forget”. I maybe espn should hire one of us to help remember…
Personally, I think they overlooked the game being on since it had been rescheduled. But I have a new contact at ESPN+, so I can make sure to give them a heads-up in the future in case a game isn’t on their schedule.
Who is doing the commentary on ESPN+ for the Chelsea v Tottenham cup match?
John Roder
Is Man United vs Man City available on live stream.If yes,which platform?
Yes, live on ESPN+ (see schedule above).
will the league cup final be on ESPN or ESPN2?
ESPN+ only
Why only x 3 EFL games televised on ESPN, exclusive rights !!! what’s the point ???
3 out of 25 fixtures. Seems pretty low. Granted, it is just the second round of a Trophy that no one cares about. But it is also a rare time I could see Stoke or Argyle.
I care, I am an English football fan and when I pay for the ESPN channel, I expect better service.
Very poor! Why aren’t you live streaming ALL the games for the Carabao Cup? For some supporters this is their only chance to see their teams play!
I guess we’re not going to get an answer from ESPN, very disappointing. Leeds UTD fan.
During the earlier rounds of the League Cup, not all of the games are made available to ESPN, so it’s not the fault of ESPN.
If I remember correctly, all of the games from Round 3 onwards are available via ESPN+.
ESPN is now the Worldwide Leader in Sports Gossip. You have to pay extra to watch actual sports competition.
Why isn’t tomorrows Arsenal-Wimbledon AFC game being streamed on ESPN?
Whomever is responsible it is disappointing to Arsenal supporters, as we already have fewer matches to watch with no Europe. Is there even a legal way to pay to get the match here in the States?
I don’t think the match is being broadcast outside of India at all. 2021 and you can’t watch an Arsenal competitive match basically anywhere on the planet legally. And they wonder why none of us bother to pay for the football – its not on! You can find the match stream with google or on IPTV.
Would be great to get an explanation why this match isn’t broadcast anywhere when they are showing second-rate clubs like S*** and City.
ESPN has the rights, and yet they are only selecting half of the Carabao Cup matches to stream today. They have left off all of these matches:
Brighton – Swansea
Millwall – Leicester City
Arsenal – AFC Wimbledon
Best way to thwart piracy and keep subscribers is not to omit games from the broadcast schedule that subscribers want to watch.
Those 3 games aren’t being televised. ESPN+ can’t stream what isn’t available.
Game is confirmed not streaming anywhere, Voot Select had the wrong guide so they are not showing it, and not available anywhere online because it’s not broadcast anywhere on earth live. Absolute and complete joke by the EFL, will be pirating every EFL game going forward as I’m not going to support them deliberately not broadcasting a competitve match of one of the biggest clubs in the world.
It’s just not being shown at all. Expect more of this from the League Cup now that people can go back to the stadiums. I’ve learned not to assume that ESPN just doesn’t wanna show it. There usually isn’t a feed available or the match is not part of the rights contract.
@mercator I don’t know that I’d call Wimbledon one of the biggest clubs in the world, but agree that the match should be streamed. 🙂
Has ManU decided to focus only on EPL?
re: ESPN+, I access often from my laptop (mac) or work desktop (dell) via the webpage, using Chrome. For the last two weeks every time I click on a match to watch I have to log-in, despite being logged in already. It’s a new glitch…not sure if it’s related to a Chrome update or something on their end. Anyone else having the same expderience?
Me too, all the time, which is why I gave them a negative score in the technical issues section of a recent comparison between the leading streaming providers:
https://worldsoccertalk.com/2021/08/29/best-soccer-streaming-services-espn-plus-vs-paramount-plus-vs-peacock/
I’ve given up trying to fix it.
@Christopher…ah, was wondering what that was referring to. Glad it’s not just me. Just chatted with an ESPN help desk rep and he told me this:
“sadly this is a currently known issue on Chrome where a user will be automatically logged out when the account is not being used for quite some time or even in a few minutes/hours. As of now we do have a pending request with the chrome and for the meantime please do use a different browser when accessing your ESPN+ subscription to make sure that you wont be logged out automatically. We’re really sorry for this inconvenience and we’re working with chrome for the fix to be implemented as soon as possible.”
I noted it also happened on Firefox on the dell.
He then had me try in incognito mode (on Chrome) and that worked. Also said I should clear cookies & cache. I did that, restarted Chrome and didn’t have the issue. It’s something that shouldn’t happen (that’s the point of the cookie!) but at least this worked (for now)
Thanks for the tips Greg. Those are super helpful as I know a lot of other people have experienced the same thing.
