Been watching La Liga for a couple of years now and never realized their policy on scheduling. I guess I never looked that far ahead until I saw the possibility of the games being shown in HD. Shame, but it is what it is. I sure hope they can broadcast the Clasico in HD. Guess Ill have to scramble and make my plans in the short span myself.

So for the American networks that show the matches (GOL TV, ESPN/ESPN2/ESPN Deportes, and DIRECTV), they have to scramble and decide within that week which matches they will show. ESPN/ESPN2 will most likely not show any Saturday matches until the college football season is over, so any Saturday match covered by ESPN will be both on ESPN Deportes and ESPN 360. As for Sunday matches, ESPN/ESPN2 have prior programming that they have to show that was negotiated before they acquired the sublicense from GOL TV. Sometimes that is in conflict with the La Liga games. You will happy to know that the late Sunday match between FC Barcelona and Real Zaragoza will be live on ESPN2HD starting at 3:55. As for El Clásico between Real and Barça, they won't set that time until a week to ten days prior, but as I understand it currently, the match will be simulcast on ESPN and GOL TV, but that is subject to change.

Whats up with La Liga games on ESPN2 on Sundays? Anyone have info on this. I cannot find anything out there on schedules. A couple of times ESPN2 had "Spanish Primerva Division" advertised on guides, but the game wasnt known until the time that it was actually shown, or, no game was shown at all. I know some of the games have been on ESPN Deportes (not HD), but I thought they were supposed to have more games on ESPN2 (HD). Among other good matches, I am looking forward to the Real Madrid v Barcelona game in November and it would be great if it was aired on ESPN2 as I believe its on a Sunday.
