I don’t have to tell you about this weekend for Fox Sports 1. We all know about it so no need to rehash everything. But the avalanche of e-mails from Fox regarding their programming, their on-air hires, their upcoming sports properties is getting overwhelming. I’m doing my best to cull through them and decide what to post for you.
In this regard, I’ll give you their live schedule from Friday, August 16 through Wednesday, August 21. This involves two NFL preseason games, three MLB regional games on Saturday, one UFC event, the UEFA Champions League, plus a ton of studio show premieres on Fox Sports 1.
Luckily, Fox provided a table so you can look at what they’ll provide. Also included in the tables are live programming for Fox Sports 2 which also launches Saturday at 6 a.m. In the early morning hours of Sunday at 2:30 a.m. ET, FS2 airs its first-ever Australian Rules Football match between the Western Bulldogs and the Adelaide Crows which just pleases me to no end.
Here’s the schedule for you. Insane stuff.
