Media Microscope: Welcome to the golden age of American soccer TV

With a plethora of televised options on a variety of accessible channels, watching soccer in the United States has never been easier.

It’s all happened rather quickly, but we are now in the midst of a new and glorious age of televised soccer here in the United States.

Though the sport had a miniscule TV footprint just a decade or so ago, there is a relative bonanza of soccer now available to the American audience.

On an average weekend day between August and May, an American TV viewer with basic cable can watch multiple games from two of Europe’s biggest leagues.
