What channels can I see Barca or Real games on in the US?

Does anybody know if TVEi shows their games?

I don't know if this question belongs on this forum but I don't know where else to ask.

You need to have access to ESPN desportes. That is the only channel of which i know that has the rights to all of the Barca and Real Madrid games.

Does anyone know if Espn Desporte will be on digital cable or basic cable. Or will we have to have direct TV to see it.

I have digital in NC and we don't have Deportes, but we have fox sports world, which is ok but they are mainly with the EPL and they show too much rugby and other crap, their news show is good though, but not many highlights are shown and very little analysis.They never ever show live games, or important games for that matter. So since Deportes it isn't on digital cable I doubt it is on basic cable, so try satellite!

ESPN Deportes to launch full time in early 2004

Updated June 25, 2003

Disney (NYSE: DIS) unit ESPN has announced that it will expand its Sunday night Spanish-language US cable/satellite TV service ESPN Deportes to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The launch of ESPN Deportes as a full-time service will occur in early 2004.

According to several sources, ESPN Deportes is expected to air AT LEAST 4 UEFA Champions League matches on each match day from the Round of 16 and all 4 matches from both legs of the quarterfinal round, with doubleheaders on match Tuesdays and Wednesday usually at 2:30pm Eastern Time. ESPN Deportes is expected to also air both legs of both UEFA Champions League semifinal series and the final.

The availability of Spanish Primera Division futbol on ESPN Deportes is to be determined.

ESPN Deportes will offer its weekly futbol talk show Fuera de Juego, hosted by ESPN Latin America futbol play-by-play announcer Luis Omar Tapia. Tapia did play-by-play for Univision Sports during World Cup 2002.

ESPN Deportes will also air SportsCenter en Espanol, a nightly sports news and information program, with emphasis on entertainment sports consumed by US Hispanic viewers. SportsCenter en Espanol will compete against TeleFutura's Contacto Deportivo, Telemundo's Titulares Telemundo, and FOX Sports en Espanol's Score Final.

ESPN Deportes is currently available to about 13 million US TV households on Sunday nights via analog or digital cable in selected areas, as well as via DirecTV Para Todos direct broadcast satellite TV. A "DirecTV Multi-Satellite" dish capable of receiving programming from both the 101 and 119 degrees longitude orbital positions, in addition to a DirecTV satellite receiver (manufactured after 1999) capable of receiving programming from multiple satellites, are required to receive DirecTV Para Todos programming.
