City’s Etihad Stadium clash with Tottenham Hotspur will become the first Barclays Women’s Super League fixture to be shown live on ESPN in the United States following a historic new agreement.
Gareth Taylor’s side host the Lilywhites on Friday 8 November with kick-off set for 19:30 (UK).
The Blues are aiming to maintain our unbeaten start to the current campaign which currently stands at ten matches in all competitions.
And the fixture will be available to watch live on ESPN after the broadcaster reached an agreement with Women’s Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL) to become the home of the WSL for the 2024/25 season in the United States.
The agreement ensures that every fully produced (57) WSL match is shown on an ESPN platform, which means that sports fans in the U.S. can keep up with live action from the top tier of women’s football in England.
In addition, WPLL have extended their deal with ESPN to broadcast games in South America and the Caribbean.
In the U.S., most games will stream live exclusively on ESPN+, with a minimum of four fixtures simulcast on an ESPN linear platform this season, beginning with this Friday’s fixture between City and Spurs.
Commentator Mark Donaldson and ESPN’s lead women’s soccer analyst Ali Krieger will cover the clash live on ESPN2 and ESPN+ (English).
Coverage will include 30-minute pre-game, half-time, and post-game segments.
Additionally, ESPN Sur will produce the match in Spanish, so the game will also air in English and select matches in Spanish on ESPN+ in the United States.
