FOX Sports Airs Almost 50 International Soccer Matches This Week
The FOX Sports’ family of networks and platforms are home to nearly 50 international soccer matches over the next seven days from the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, FIFA Club World Cup and the Bundesliga.
The final Match Day of the UEFA Champions League group stages comes tomorrow, Tuesday, Dec. 8 as English giants Manchester United face Germany’s Wolfsburg on FS1 and FOX Deportes (2:00 PM ET) in the first of eight matches that day. In another English vs. German club clash, Manchester City and Borussia M’gladbach battle it out on FS2 (2:00 PM ET), while Real Madrid and Paris St. Germain are among the other top teams in action. With so much on the line for teams looking to advance to the highly-anticipated knockout rounds, MULTIMATCH 90 on FOX Soccer Plus/FOX Soccer 2Go (2:30 PM ET) brings viewers every goal and highlight in near real-time from the simultaneous matches. The UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE POSTMATCH SHOW recaps all the action of the day at 5:00 PM ET on FS1.
Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea play on Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 2:00 PM ET, all with one game to go in Europe’s most prestigious club competition. On FS1 and FOX Deportes, Bayer Leverkusen, led by star Mexican striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, look to make it through past Barcelona, already qualified for the Round of 16, while there is much more at stake for Arsenal on FS2, which needs a win against Olympiacos to avoid missing out on the next round for the first time since 1999. Coverage also includes MULTIMATCH 90 and the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE POSTMATCH SHOW at 5:00 PM ET.
Studio coverage for both days features host Rob Stone alongside a rotation of analysts including Eric Wynalda, Brad Friedel, Alexi Lalas and Warren Barton. On the Spanish-language side, a special edition of FOX DEPORTES EN VIVO live from Germany begins at 1:00 PM ET both days with hosts John Laguna, Mariano Trujillo and Ricardo Murgia. Alvaro Izquierdo and Ariel Torrone are on the call on Tuesday and on Wednesday, Laguna and Trujillo call the action live from BayArena in Leverkusen with special reports from Murgia. Studio coverage on Wednesday includes Claudio Suarez and Troy Santiago.
The UEFA Europa League group stages conclude on Thursday, Dec. 10, with doubleheaders on FS1, FS2 and FOX Soccer Plus beginning at 1:00 PM ET followed by games at 3:00 PM ET. Liverpool, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke highlight the teams vying to solidify their positions in the next round of the competition. Ian Joy hosts pregame, halftime and postgame coverage with Barton and Stuart Holden.
Thursday also sees the start of the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan, which includes the host country’s representative, plus champions from Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Oceania and Europe battling it out for the title of world’s best club. Japan’s representative, Sanfrecce Hiroshima, faces Auckland City (Oceania) in the first round on FS1 and FOX Deportes (5:30 AM ET). After winning the UEFA Champions League Final this year, Barcelona now looks to add more glory to its 2015 accomplishments, joining the tournament in the semifinals on Thursday, Dec. 17 playing a yet-to-be-determined opponent at 5:20 AM ET on FS1. Mexico’s Club America takes on China’s Guangzhou Evergrande on Sunday, Dec. 12 at 1:00 AM ET on FS2 and FOX Deportes.
The massive week finally wraps up with Round 16 of the Bundesliga season as FOX Sports offers seven games starting Friday, Dec. 11 through Sunday, Dec. 13 (schedule below). Joy hosts pregame, halftime and postgame coverage with Wynalda, Jovan Kirovski and Thomas Hitzlsperger.
