Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Leicester City Highlight Star-Studded Return of European Soccer on FOX Sports
After a record-breaking June with the 2016 COPA AMERICA CENTENARIO: CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE AMERICAS, FOX Sports kicks off a jam-packed month of soccer on Sunday, Aug. 7. FOX Sports’ offering features the return of UEFA Champions League and Bundesliga, plus MLS, FA Community Shield and the UEFA and German Super Cups across the FOX broadcast network, FS1, FS2 and FOX Deportes.
The 36-match lineup begins Sunday, Aug. 7, with the 94th edition of the FA Community Shield when Jose Mourinho, a two-time Champions League winner and eight-time league title manager, leads FA Cup Champions Manchester United in a clash against English Premier League Champions Leicester City. Coverage begins at 9:30 AM ET on FS1 with a 30-minute pregame show hosted by Ian Joy with analysts Eric Wynalda and Warren Barton. Later that day, MLS takes center stage with a highly-anticipated doubleheader as Orlando City hosts the Seattle Sounders at 7:00 PM ET, followed by a clash between the LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls. Mark Rogondino and Brad Friedel call the early match from the Citrus Bowl with sideline reporter Katie Witham. John Strong and Alexi Lalas are on the call for the second match live from Stubhub Center with Julie Stewart-Binks reporting from the sideline. The day concludes with a 30-minute postgame show featuring Strong, Lalas and Stewart-Binks.
On Tuesday, Aug. 9, UEFA Champions League reigning champions Real Madrid square off against Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup, and on Sunday, Aug. 14, Borussia Dortmund, which finished second in the Bundesliga last season, takes on German powerhouse Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup, marking the team’s fifth straight appearance. A week later, UEFA Champions League, Europe’s elite soccer competition, returns for the 2016-17 season. Coverage begins at 2:00 PM ET on Tuesday, Aug. 16, with a 30-minute pregame show from the FOX broadcast center in Los Angeles with Joy, Barton, Wynalda and Friedel.
On Friday, Aug. 26, Carlo Ancelotti’s Bayern Munich looks to secure their fifth straight title when they kick off the new Bundesliga season against Werder Bremen. Coverage begins at 2:00 PM ET with Joy, Wynalda and Jovan Kirovski in studio. The next day, FOX airs the thrilling action between Borussia Monchengladbach as they take on Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez’s Bayer Leverkusen. Coverage begins at 12:00 PM ET.
FOX Sports’ pregame and postgame coverage throughout the month of August features a rotation of analysts including Joy, Wynalda, Barton, Lalas, Friedel and Kirovski. Joy, Wynalda, Barton, Strong, Lalas, Friedel, Kirovski, Keith Costigan, Rogondino and Christian Miles call game action, and Witham and Stewart-Binks roam the sidelines.
On the Spanish-language side, John Laguna, Mariano Trujillo, Claudio Suarez, Troy Santiago, Ariel Torrone, Christian Bozzo, and Martin Zuñiga call the action for FOX Deportes.
