I started really getting into soccer after the World Cup and now my daily Saturday/Sunday ritual involves watching EPL games. However, other leagues are not on TV as often and what are some ways to watch live?

There is this pretty decent little league called MLS that just got a bit of a better TV deal. You should give that one a shot. I've heard they've actually got some quality teams.

I watch occasionally on ESPN but something is off watching. I watched the Sounders one night and it really seemed slower than premier League games imo as a novice soccer aficionado.

Not all leagues are equal. Ours is only twenty years old. It's probably doing better than any other league of that age has done.

Have you been rustled?

I seem to be in your head.

But if tdeucen wants, I could recommend some Russian league streams.

I hate that people use this so much on the board. It's just obnoxious and I roll my eyes every time.

His comment was totally unprovoked.

That may be true but watching it vs watching premier League or these Spanish teams I watched the other day on FS1, it seems a good bit behind. Just pace of play and action seem to be lacking or watching the passing it seems to be on and off. I can't pinpoint it but compared to other leagues it is below. Even with that I still don't see it on TV as often?

The MLS is only on TV on Sundays.

BeIn shows Serie A.

Before the weekend I just look up "soccer" on my TV guide then record all of the PL games then I look to see what else interests me. I usually record Barca and Real Madrid's games on BeIn, most of the Bundesliga games, a couple of MLS games, and whatever else stands out.

It usually gives me a lot to watch during the week though I watch a lot less once basketball starts.

Also r/Soccerstreams can help you find whatever you want to watch

You can find MLS games on TV on Saturday and Sunday. Some on Friday, Thursday, Wednesday for the odd games.

That may be an issue, since I still value baseball over soccer it takes #1 priority so I don't seek out soccer matches. I watch early in the morning or if a baseball game is boring. Sunday is also yardwork day so 12-4 I am outside doing stuff so I may miss stuff.
I never see advertisements for soccer on Friday's, if I did I would probably watch rather than watching a Netflix movie.

Yeah once basketball and football starts my soccer watching will take a serious hit, but it is a nice thing to have on the DVR.

I really love it for my ability to have something to watch while I ride my stationary bike due to lack of stoppages and commercials.
