Fox Sports begins a new era with the Bundesliga next Friday, August 14. It signed a five-year contract back in 2013 and had to wait until Gol TV completed its deal to air Germany’s premier soccer league just last season. Under its rights, Fox will air all 306 league games on its various platforms, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, Fox Soccer Plus and Fox Deportes. Online, the FS1/FS2 games will be streamed on FoxSoccer.com as well as on the Fox Sports Go app. The Fox Soccer Plus games will be online at the subscription-based Fox Soccer 2 Go app.
The breakdown will be as follows:
Fox Sports 1 — 58 games
Fox Sports 2 — 60 games
Fox Soccer Plus — 188 games
Fox Deportes — 105 games
Former beIN Sports host Ian Joy will be Fox Sports’ main point man for the Bundesliga as he’ll be the studio host. Eric Wynalda who played in Germany will be part of a rotation of studio analysts. Fox will utilize the Bundesliga world feed just like it did when it had the English Premier League.
Here’s the schedule and breakdown of networks for the first seven weeks:
