This is excellent news for fans of the English Premier League on this side of the pond. Fox Sports International is now in negotiations with ESPN to sublicense some of their rights to the Premier League. You know what that means, more matches available for EPL fans in the United States.
According to sources, ESPN and Fox Sports International are currently in negotiations for FSI to sublicense some of the Barclays Premier League TV rights in the U.S. through 2013 to ESPN.
According to sources, it is understood that ESPN is looking for expanded rights in the U.S. that will allow the company to feature the matches on more platforms than in its previous 2009-2010 season agreement. That agreement only allowed ESPN to televise the matches on ESPN2. For the 2010-13 seasons, it’s likely that the games will also be available on ESPN3.com in addition to ESPN2.
