Our trip to City selected for broadcast in the US | OneFootball

Our trip to Manchester City on Friday night (8 November) will be the first Barclays Women’s Super League televised live on an ESPN linear platform this season.

ESPN has reached an agreement with Women’s Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL) to become the home of the WSL for the 2024/25 season in the United States.

The agreement ensures that every fully produced (57) WSL match will be broadcast on an ESPN platform, which means that sports fans in the U.S. can keep up with live action from the top tier of women’s football in England.

In addition, WPLL have extended their deal with ESPN to broadcast games in South America and the Caribbean.

In the U.S., most games will stream live exclusively on ESPN+, with a minimum of four fixtures simulcast on an ESPN linear platform this season, beginning with this Friday’s clash at Etihad Stadium.

Play-by-play commentator Mark Donaldson and ESPN’s lead women’s soccer analyst Ali Krieger will commentate the match live on ESPN2 and ESPN+ (English), with coverage including a half-an-hour pre-game, half-time, and post-game segments.
