Olivert, are those Directv games pay per view or regular Directv subscription?

Doubtful.

DISH dumped GolTV a year ago.

DirecTV is the platform of choice if you want access to live EXCLUSIVE La Liga, UEFA Champions League, and UEFA Europa League matches that are not available on DISH Network or cable.

Does anyone know if there is any chance GolTV will return to DISH?

DirecTV will also have:

Sunday at 10:55am ET – Mallorca vs Xerez – DirecTV Channel 456

I don’t expect DirecTV to put out a press release regarding the UEFA Europa League until the quarterfinals.

GolTV will announce the UEFA Europa League matches in September.

Also note that Setanta Premium will sublicense UEFA Europa League matches from DirecTV, Inc. involving Celtic and Benfica. There is a possibility that Setanta Premium will sublicense additional matches (i.e. Sporting and Panathinaikos.)

DirecTV, Inc. has swapped selected UEFA Europa League matches (Group Stage, Round of 32, and Round of 16) to GolTV, Inc. for La Liga matches that GolTV and ESPN, Inc. does NOT want.

For week 1, DirecTV will offer:

Saturday 3:55pm ET – Zaragoza vs Tenerife – DirecTV Ch. 456

Sunday 10:55am ET – Osasuna vs Villarreal – DirecTV Ch. 457

@jose

Barcelona in HD will be amazing. Can’t wait to DVR that and watch it Monday night when I get out of work.

Valencia v Sevilla IS the game of the week. I’m a Sevillista hasta la muerte, having lived 30 seconds from the stadium in Spain. Sevilla need to come out quick this year as we normally start off okay, but then lose most of our matches to teams ranked 12th or lower in the table.

@Emilee
This is what I found looking on the internet.

”This appears to be a cost-cutting move by DirecTV to take ESPN2, GSN, Current, etc. out of the DirecTV Mas (hybrid Spanish/English) base packages.

If you want both ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes, you will now need to subscribe to an English-language base package (most people choose Choice or Choice Xtra) and add the “En Espanol” pack for another $20 a month.”

So hopefully this helps!
