FOX Sports Expands Coverage of England-France Soccer Match

Tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 17, the French national team plays its first match since Friday’s attacks on Paris, which included as a target the French national stadium as France played host to Germany, and FOX Sports has expanded its coverage as the team takes on England in an international friendly live from Wembley Stadium in London.

Live pregame coverage includes a reporter on-site, pre-kick walkouts and both national anthems, with Wembley reportedly set to display the words to the French national anthem, Le Marseillaise, on screens to encourage all in attendance to join in song. In addition to match telecasts on FS1 and FOX Deportes, pregame, match and post-match coverage is now widely available to everyone with an Internet connection through the FOX Sports GO mobile app and FOXSportsGO.com.

FOX Sports’ coverage begins tomorrow at 2:30 PM ET on FS1, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 PM ET. Ian Joy hosts FS1’s pregame coverage from Los Angeles with analysts Warren Barton, Thomas Hitzlsperger and Brad Friedel, who was recently added to the day’s plans. Alec Wilkinson provides live reports on-site from Wembley, specifically looking at pregame security measures at Wembley. The match on FS1 is called by the legendary Martin Tyler and analyst Tony Dorigo, with Tyler joining the pre-match show for an interview by satellite. A 30-minute postgame show is scheduled at 5:00 PM ET on FS1.

FOX Deportes airs a two-hour special edition of FOX DEPORTES EN VIVO prior to the match (1:00 PM ET) with John Laguna and Mariano Trujillo hosting before calling the match.

Encore match telecasts, including pregame and postgame coverage, are scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 11:00 PM ET on FS2 and Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 2:00 AM ET and 8:00 AM ET on FS1.
