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

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.
