Content for the next week is not very exciting unless you like NRL (Rugby League) - half a dozen live matches, one live under 21 footy match Netherlands v England) and one live Nascar truck race plus numerous repeats and football news programmes. A lot of their content comes from Premier Sports - NRL, Ice Hockey, Swedish Speedway.

I cant see them picking up many viewers for the advertised Belgian second division games..... I doubt the second & third level Nascar races wont do very well either. I will give the truck races a go as I rather enjoyed the one I found live earlier in the season.

• Portuguese Primeira League (two games per week)
• Belgian Pro League (three games)
• Superliga Argentina (two games)
• Spanish La Liga 2 (one game)
• Irish Airtricity League

It will also show programmes from some of the biggest club TV channels:

• Barca TV
• Bayern TV
• AC Milan TV
• Borussia Dortmund TV

That will involve showing the whole game, normally 24 hours afterwards, plus one hour of club news per week.

Coverage on opening weekend also includes England U21 opening Euro qualifier against the Netherlands (kick off 5pm).

FreeSports launches - these are the football matches it will show

According to the synopses in the EPG all those club TVs will be match highlights only NOT full matches - at least in the first week

Good for you.

I'll take that. Wonder if they'll screen next year's World Cup (hockey that is).

You mean like a Freesports -1 instead of a +1? Or did you get your FTA box from Gallifrey?
