USFL on BT Sport ESPN?

[tehcjh]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I saw that ESPN International managed to get the rights to the USFL in the UK (https://www.foxsports.com/stories/usfl/usfl-international-broadcast-information-how-to-watch-outside...) and wondered if this would mean it could end up on the BT Sport ESPN schedules soon?

The league kicks off this weekend, but doesn't appear on any schedules over here. Would be nice to see it on TV somewhere to get the interest from the start.

Cheers.

BT Sport ESPN is a licensed channel in name only. They carry some ESPN content but not a lot. Most likely USFL will be on ESPN International's own app according to the gossip on Sky's forums..

Its not currently showing on ESPN Player

BT have a first-choice agreement with ESPN, but looks like they've not taken up USFL rights, perhaps with the ESPN output agreement coming to an end soon, and no word on a renewal or if ESPN/BT want to.
