    apols if this is the wrong forum for this kind of thing.

    I'm after recently moving to New Jersey and had been fretting about missing the season. Luckily I have fox soccer channel here for live prem matches and the like but there seems to be a distinct lack of champions league on their schedule.

    Does anyone know what if any channel that shows champions league? Specifically the ManU v Debrecen match later today, failing that some highlights program. I don't care if it's one of those spanish language ones, commentary doesn't really matter to me.

    If I can live with listening to david pleat at seven on a saturday morning I can live with pretty much anything. The sacrifices you make, eh? :D

    CL games are usually on ESPN2 with commentary by Tommy Smith from Co. Louth.
    See www.espn.com

    I am pretty sure Setanta have acquired the North American TV rights to the Champions League. It states this at the end of this article. Hope that helps.

    Sorry I was mistaken, they do not see to show it anymore.
    Is Setanta available on cable in the US yet or still just in Pubs ?

    Alright, I've been looking into this a bit more now.

    Setanta in the states has both a PPV channel for pubs/clubs which will show live football/rugby but it also has a cable channel(Setanta Sports Channel) which will show a limited selection of live matches and delayed coverage.

    today for example they're repeating the ManU Villa game from the weekend and the liverpool game from last night. Why? only god knows. They're also showing two classic prem matches.

    And I found a site like pplive
