Question Brazilian League coverage on ESPN?

I was pleasantly surprised to see there was coverage of the Brazilian League on ESPN tonight and it also mentioned another match to be broadcast tomorrow. I just wanted to know if ESPN UK have acquired the rights to the entire Brazilian League as I remember seeing Premier Sports had the rights for South American football leagues before?

If so, this is GREAT news for football fans.

Thanks

That's what I was wondering too.

Noticed Premier Sports are only advertising Argentine fixtures on their web-page so maybe ESPN have snapped up the rights.

Thanks for the link. I hope it is true. I am just surprised that ESPN hasn't confirmed anything yet officially as it is a great addition and it solves the summer football drought. LOL!

Re: Brazilian League coverage on ESPN?

It looks as if they have acquired the rights, but will only be showing the matches live until the normal European leagues start again in August according to this thread.
