The availability of football via internet streaming is growing. Major networks such as Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta Sports have initiated their own services, while any number of other services are also vying to bring football to your computer. Below are those options of which we at MCFCNYC are aware. We cannot guarantee your satisfaction with any of them and present them only for your information. If you wish to discuss internet viewing options, please visit our web forum here.
Fox Soccer Channel Broadband streams English Premier League and UEFA Cup matches that they have previously aired on Fox Soccer Channel. There is a minimum delay of 12 hours between TV broadcasts and internet streaming.
Setanta Broadband allows you to watch Setanta Sports and Setanta Premium on your PC or Mac.
ITVN is a service that enables you to watch Setanta Broadband on your television screen. A small ITVN box sits atop your TV and connects between your television and your cable modem, router, DSL, or wireless G network.
Live Online Footy is unaffiliated with any network and has been around for a few years. In the absence of major players in the delivery of football via broadband, it has been rather popular. To view matches, you will need to download Live Online Footy's own media player.
SopCast is a free service using peer-to-peer technology. After you download the SopCast program, search the forum at FreeFootball.org (registration required) to learn what on what channels you can get City's match. You could also go to Myp2p, I believe, to not only download SopCast but also check their schedule of broadcasts. We at MCFCNYC are not sure of the reliability of peer-to-peer technology when it comes to video streaming nor of the convenience of searching for channels through an internet forum, although one of our forum guests has stated, "I can pretty much get any game that is being played on television worldwide."
