FOX Soccer Channel & USL PRO Agree to 3-Year Deal

FOX Soccer and USL PRO have announced a deal that will bring 10 games directly to your living room in 2011.  This is really good news to me because I doubt I'll be able to make it to any of Richard's game this year. The schedule below lists the "Games of the Week" that will air on the most popular soccer channel in the world.  Along with these games, FSC will also televise the PDL(August 13th) and W-League(July 31st) Championship. From the schedule listed below it looks as if Wilmington and Rochester will have the most games(3) televised this year.

The first episode of 2011 is scheduled to air in May. CEO Alec Papadakis had this to say about the show; “We are going to raise the bar on production levels for our 30-minute magazine-style show, USL Breakaway, as well as our game broadcasts, providing fans with a greatly enhanced product to enjoy. (USL Breakaway) is the key avenue to showcase the players and teams that make our leagues successful and it will reach unprecedented levels during the course of the agreement.”
