Start by following other leagues on their YouTube channels.

MLS features fast paced play compared to La Liga or Serie A. Or the Mexican league. It's actually pretty comparable to the Premier League in style of play. Quality is a different story. But if you think MLS is "slow" you won't like most soccer.

You shouldn't be recommending the Bundesliga if you didn't even know who St.Pauli was.

Sorry for recommending a league that I've only followed for 2 years. Get off your high horse every once in a while.

I'll acknowledge them next time they make the first division.

This is a laughable troll. A troll so stupid that you're basically trolling yourself.

Same reason I couldn't care less about teams like Leeds. I've never seen them in the top division since I've been watching.

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?


For the bigger European matches aside from EPL, CL matches usually involving EPL sides and now Bundesliga matches of Fox, you need to have BeIN Sports channel.

They show all the biggest Spanish, Italian and French matches and do show some bigger Russian league and English Championship matches on occasion as well.

The USA is much more EPL-centric than any other country (even more so than England in terms of TV coverage) and so channels that show non-EPL matches like BeIN aren't always in cable packages all around the country.


Of course, streams are abundant for all matches everywhere. Many use sites like first row to find streams though I also read that checking threads on reddit soccer is good.


Here's a pretty good site that has TV listings which is sortable by league and specific US channels. https://www.livesoccertv.com/

It's really not. St. Pauli is the biggest club in Germany (supporters-wise).

Most casual fans in the USA have no idea who they are.

You ask them about St. Pauli, and they'll give their opinion on the beer.

if you really follow German soccer and actually support a club then you should know who they are.

They haven't done shite since I started paying a little attention to it. I couldn't care less about the second division. Until this season, I've only paid attention to Gladbach while keeping an eye on the rest of the table. Never have I said I knew more than anyone else about the league.

So like I said, climb off that high horse every once in a while. You dont have to be a dick in EVERY thread. The guy asked for ways to watch soccer and I told him about the only other league that I get on my tv. If Liga MX, La Liga, Serie A, etc. were regularly on a channel that I get, then I would have mentioned them as well.

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but, Champions League. The best teams from across Europe play in a season long tournament on sporadic Tuesdays and Wednesdays on Fox Sports One and sometimes the other Fox networks. Games come on live early in the early afternoon here on those days, so I guess they may be a problem of you work and have no DVR. But that's the best way to see teams from all leagues on TV here.

you can be a dick as well and make a lot of condescending post to make excuses for your lack of knowledge on soccer.

you claim to be a ref but on the regular get into arguments about ref decision and with posters who actually played the sport when you are wrong.
