All access: Fury, FC Edmonton road games to be streamed on TSN GO in 2015 By Steven Sandor Posted on March 26, 2015 9 0 826 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter FC Edmonton and Ottawa Fury supporters will be able to access the majority of their teams away-game broadcasts this year via TSN GO. The North American Soccer League announced its broadcast plans for this season and, as expected, the pay-per-view NASLLive platform is gone. ESPN3 is now the base for all U.S. broadcasts save for the New York Cosmos, whose rights are held by ONE World Sports. Canadians can’t legally access ESPN3 streams, but there is a plan in place to ensure the fans on the northern side of the border can see the away games. When the Eddies or Fury visit eight of the nine U.S. teams (minus the Cosmos), the games will be streamed on TSN GO. Cosmos games can be accessed through ONE World. For home games, Fury matches will be available on the team’s website, so Canadians from coast-to-coast can see those games. FC Edmonton is back with Citytv/Rogers in 2015 — and I can confirm that Gareth Hampshire and me will be back in the booth. The games will also be available on through the Citytv Edmonton website; so, like the Fury, they can be accessed by a national Canadian audience. For the supporters south of the border; when U.S. teams visit FCE or Ottawa, those games will be available outside Canada on the ESPN platforms, including ESPN3 in America. SOME ADDED NOTES: Ottawa Fury has confirmed its home leg of the Amway Canadian Championship first-round series against FC Edmonton will be available on Rogers TV. FC Edmonton has not yet announced any plans for its home leg of that series. As well, the Fury have confirmed that all NASL, matches, home and away, will be streamed on its website. That differs from the information that came from NASL: “Matches played in Edmonton and Ottawa will be available to U.S. viewers via ESPN3 and Canadian viewers via City TV and OttawaFuryFC.com respectively. Matches played in the U.S. (except New York) will be available to American viewers via ESPN3 and Canadian viewers via TSN GO.” No matter; the key for viewers is that matches will be available for streaming without surcharges. MORE ADDED NOTES: As well, I have been told that games between two American teams will be available to Canadian fans on TSN GO. So, if Minnesota is playing Tampa Bay, fans in Edmonton or Ottawa or St. John’s or Victoria can watch that stream via TSN GO.
