So, why is it that we’re just over 3 weeks away from the 2015/16 Bundesliga season and we haven’t heard a single word from FOX Sports about its coverage plans or opening weekend TV schedule?

But here we sit, less than 2 weeks away from the German Super Cup, and FOX Sports hasn’t released any details.
After doing a lot of digging, we do know that FOX Soccer Plus will be televising many of the Bundesliga games. However, five years after the launch of FOX Soccer Plus, many TV subscribers are unable to get the network (and even if you do get it, the cost ranges from $6.99 to $14.99 for the service by itself and it is not part of a package). So, for many, FOX Soccer 2GO remains the only legal and viable way of watching these games.

Can't even believe it still exists. I dumped it years ago, and although I'd like to see the Bundesliga, it's not worth the expense. It makes me miss Setanta.

I laughed when they started throwing sides that are popular in the U.S.A. in Champions League's games on that shite.

Gonna have to subscribe to Fox Soccer + or Fox SoccertoGo to see all the Bundesliga I think.

Good for NBC for what they do with the EPL. Seems like a repeat of the MLS out of market thing with ESPN.

I'm really looking forward to having another big league on TV. I guess I was a fool to think Fox would emulate NBC by making all the games readily available. I guess it's just not worth it with the Bundesliga, if I was to play devil's advocate.

So in other words, unavailable. Fox Soccer 2Go is dog shite.

I read where Fox is moving their Fox NFL Kickoff show from FS1 to Fox which would leave them with an open timeslot to play Bundesliga matches.

I guarantee Fox has over-promised and will under-deliver on Bundesliga coverage.

It is a pity...like an earlier poster said it would be awesome to have another non-domestic league have a majority of their matches available to the majority of American households on cable. Of course I'd like that to be La Liga but we are a ways from that I think

Oh, they're going to frick it up. However, if the games make it to at least FS2, it will be at least as good as GolTV. The hope is they'll put a lot of stuff on FS1

I almost started this thread yesterday. Looking online I have been able to essentially find nothing.

I have no idea. I feel like Fox is always just kind of fricking winging it.

The more I think about it, the crazier it seems that Fox hasn't been advertising the shite out of the Bundesliga all during these summer international tournaments that they have been hosting. The could even take digs at the premier league while pumping up the German league. Instead, they haven't mentioned a word and many people that follow soccer have probably forgotten that they have the rights.

I honestly was starting to think their broadcast rights for it started until next year

Looks liek they only plan on broadcasting a couple of games per week on FSP. Fox is a joke.

Yeah. It definitely sucks La Liga doesn't have a decent American broadcasting deal. Just look at last night's ICC game. The crowd was full of Barcelona fans.
