NBC/ESPN/SIN telecast schedule
Because soccer rose to prominence in the United States more gradually than the four major sports, many of these lists have some level of incompleteness. Also, because soccer has a variety of cup and national-team competitions that many American sports do not have, it is not feasible to include every league in this template. The full soccer index can be found here.
