Only if they want to watch German football.

NCAA Football starts this weekend and was previously on Sky Sports - DAZN now have the deal with ESPN for coverage.

I had to look that one up, never heard of NCAA Football (turns out its American Football).

Watching Everton game tonight,not that impressed with the pitch seems a bit patchy? Well done to the fans though for turning up in such mass numbers

It's college football which is big in the states and had a following on Sky Sports and previously BT Sports.

Reports say College football and the NFL are two of the most watched sports leagues in the United States.

We (mostly) don’t appreciate how popular College Football is in the States - my son spent his Second Year at University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC, which has 38,000 students (out of a total population of 144,000) - the College Football stadium can hold nearly 80,000, and it’s full most games.

I really don't get it at all,why are people interested in this at all? Surely it's amateurs players,lower level skill than our non league teams! But hey if people want to watch it then good luck to them.

Watching the draw for the League Cup on Sky last night I was puzzled as to why Crystal Palace weren't in the pot of teams playing in Europe? Can anyone explain it?

No it's a main route to NFL and the riches that offers

Looking at DAZN's schedule for this coming weekend it seems they are only showing games that ESPN broadcast in the US,
which is a shame as many big matchups through the season will be on other broadcasters networks,
for example the biggest game on Saturday is Texas at Ohio State which DAZN aren't showing.
Luckily I can use my good American friends tv account to view this and other big matchups throughout the coming season and I think £25 a month is way too much for what's on offer given the lack of much other content on the service.

It was mentioned - its because their group matches are not until October, so no potential clash.
