What Will TSN Show Next Year?

Soccer is the most popular sport around the world and things will get more interesting next year when the EPL moves from basic cable to Dazn a streaming platform that is only available through internet access.

My concern is that I feel like the general public doesn't know about this yet. The ramifications of the move are still unknown. I'm curious to know who will stay and who will make the move.

The key answer to this question will be determined by what TSN and Sportsnet show instead. Only thing I can think of is Sportsnet covering the German top tier as Fox Sports 1 does south of the

border. As for TSN, they could show College Gameday on all four regional channels but I don't think tjhat's the safest bet.

I would love to speculate on what TSN should show but my heart has been broken too many times from speculating on what they should add since the advent of TSN2 in 2008.

The thing is, nothing much is happening in the sports world between the hours of 7am-noon Toronto time. There's always that or another sports league....

I can't be sure what the rules are in getting a TV contract but I know Spain and France have games on Bein Sports but it is only on 1-2 games a week. SN has the German league and I believe Italy is owned by DAZN as well.

The next best league on the list is the Russian league. Well it would be interesting and personally I would get hooked, I'm not sure that the rest of Canada would be.

I think it would be cool if one of the networks created like a Red-zone channel in football and showed live goals from the rest of Europe. This way we would be able to keep track of the top teams in the smaller leagues.

There will also be a Canadian Premier League starting this April. However, this would be able to take place later on in the day. It is a seven team league. Schedule or TV contract has not been reached yet. 

More on this later...
