There’ll be plenty of soccer to enjoy on TV and major streaming services this weekend with Europe’s club scene back in full-swing.
The marquee matchup over the weekend will be Sunday’s Premier League offering of Liverpool vs Tottenham. It took until its ninth match, but still unbeaten Liverpool is perfect no longer after dropping points to Manchester United in a 1-1 draw last weekend. The Reds still own a six point lead over Manchester City heading into the weekend, while Tottenham sits in seventh and comes in on the heels of a 1-1 draw with last-placed Watford.
Sunday will see a Le Classique derby matchup in Ligue 1 competition when PSG hosts Marseille. At the moment, PSG owns a one-point lead in the table, and Marseille is in fourth, but only by differential. The Rivierderby also takes place in Germany as Borussia Dortmund and Schalke duke it out for bragging rights.

“9:30a.m. – fuboTV , FOX Deportes – Bayern München vs Union Berlin
9:30a.m. – fuboTV , TUDN USA – Schalke 04 vs Borussia Dortmund”
Just looking at these 2 BL games, they’re missing that the Schalke-Dortmund game is on FS2, and the BM game is on FS+.
WHO CARES what’s on premium cable or streaming?! As long as cable networks keep filling up hours and hours and hours of precious air time with utterly garbage ‘sports’ like boxing or Nascar or softball or obscure college football, or ‘sports talk,’ or, for God’s sake, poker (poker!), why should any of us pay extra money to be very occasionally condescendingly allowed to see the one or other occasional game of soccer, the world’s most popular and genuine sport? Boycotting is the only ethical response.
.
For the record, the Schalke-Dortmund game was actually shown live over the air on UniMás, even if the SBI group is apparently incapable of prioritizing over-the-air networks and standard cable over premium cable. (Hint: TUDN should be at the bottom of the list, below Univisión, UniMás, and Galavisión. Larry seemed to get it one day for Champions League, but that was probably a fluke.)
.
But McKennie didn’t even suit up, and without him and Reus and Alcácer the game was a dud, and it was actively painful to hear some lame Televisa announcer called Aldo Farías mangling the names of all the German players. (Marco ‘Re-us’ [sic]. Cali-‘gui’-[sic]-ri. I ask you. Dyslexic, ignorant, much?)
.
Still, I appreciated that they showed the game at all. More than you can say for the English-language channels, including Fox and ESPN, which only ever seem to show soccer when they have run out of all other garbage programming.
