Two live Champions League games in the US now

[frappe27]

ESPN2 (US) will have US TV coverage for

UEFA Champions League, with one match per match day,

through May 2004.

On match days with a LIVE telecast on ESPN2 (US),

ESPN Deportes will air a different match LIVE so

that viewers in the US will have access to 2 live

matches simultaneously.

Setanta Sport has sublicensed US and Canadian

TV rights to UEFA Champions League group stage matches

involving Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea,

Celtic, Rangers, Porto, Galatasaray, and Olympiacos

from ESPN International and TEAM Marketing AG.

These matches will air on closed-circuit TV

if they are not aired in the US on ESPN2

or in Canada on TSN/RDS or TLN.

The UEFA Champions League will air

on ESPN Deportes once ESPN Deportes

becomes a full-time service in January 2004,

with doubleheaders on match Tuesdays and Wednesdays

starting with the Round of 16 (in February 2004)

through the Quarterfinals, plus both legs

of both semifinals and the final.

In Canada, ESPN's Canadian affiliates TSN and RDS

will have first pick of telecasts, while TLN (TeleLatino Network)

will have selected telecasts of matches not shown

on TSN and RDS.
