There's going to be lotsa soccer to watch this season.

On Friday evening, I saw that ESPN2 was to broadcast the opening game of the 2009-2010
English Premiere League season between Chelsea and Hull City 7:45am ET Saturday morning.
Well as it turns out, it wasn't just a one-game deal...

Via EPL•Talk:
On late Friday, ESPN concluded the negotiations with Fox Soccer Channel to sub-license
the early Saturday morning kickoff and Monday afternoon games for the 2009/10 season.
The package includes 12 Monday afternoon ET games, all 7:45am ET Saturday games, and
a select number of 10am ET Saturday games (when the 7:45am game is not available).

“The Barclays Premier League is one of the crown jewels of professional sports
throughout the world,” said Scott Guglielmino, vice president of programming, ESPN.
“We’re pleased to work with Fox Sports International to bring some of the league’s
marquee matchups to ESPN2 in our continued efforts to serve soccer fans in the
United States.”

ESPN's schedule through September 2009 is as follows (all times eastern):
Sat. 7:40 a.m. Chelsea vs. Hull City
Sat., Aug. 22, 9:55 a.m., Wigan Athletic vs. Manchester United
Mon., Aug. 24, 2:55 p.m. , Liverpool vs. Aston Villa

That's the official TV schedule from ESPN, and here’s the grandaddy unofficial
TV schedule for Premier League games on ESPN2, Fox Soccer Channel
and Setanta (subject to change), through November 29, 2009.
OMG. That's a lot of soccer.
