Well, isn’t this something? the UEFA Champions League final will be shown in America on Fox. Yes, you are reading that correctly, it says Fox. Not Fox Soccer Channel, not Fox Sports Net, it’s Fox. The same network that brings this country American Idol will be airing the Champions League Final. Wow.
This will be the first time in America that the Champions League final will be aired on network television. Until this current 09-10 season, ESPN held the American broadcast rights.
The final will be played at Real Madrid’s Bernabeu stadium on Saturday May 22 at 2:30pm EST. The broadcast will be very telling, as it has the opportunity to score huge ratings for soccer in this country, and I think it will do just that.
