2015 CFL Week 1 TV Schedule & Announcing Assignments

Yes, I realize I stopped posting the CFL after Week 10 last year, but I'm going to try it again so there will be something to post regularly during the summer.

2015 MLS Week 1 TV Schedule

The 2015 MLS season is upon us, and as I said before I will try and post a listing of each weeks matches along with the broadcast teams calling those games. Some people may wonder why I am keeping the MLS matches when I dropped the English Premier matches. I am doing it solely to provide a service for US fans and because most other sites don't list them.

This week marks the beginning of the new MLS TV contract, which means the return of Soccer Night in America on it's new home- Fox Sports 1. It also marks the first time that UniMas/Univision Deportes will televise matches nationally in the US in English.

It also marks the debut of New York City and Orlando City as fulltime MLS members. Both teams come in having finalized local TV plans. New York City will air their non-national matches on YES while Orlando City will air their's on WOFL or WRBW.

As for other firsts, many local contracts have had their regional partners change. Gone from the broadcast market are Time Warner Texas (FC Dallas), Comcast SportsNet Houston (Houston Dynamo), and KTVX (Real Salt Lake). I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones I know of.

KTXA has picked up the games that Time Warner Texas previously aired, while Root Sports Southwest has picked up the CSN Houston matches.

Root Sports Southwest isn't the only Root station planning on airing MLS matches. All locally produced Seattle Sounders matches will be shown on Root Sports Northwest. Select matches will also be broadcast on Fox 12 or KPDX.

American Sports Network has picked up all Real Salt Lake games and will air them on select Sinclair stations across the Rockies including KMYU, KYUU, KVMY, & KAME.

As always, announcers are subject to change. Should any changes occur, I will do my best to update them. Without further ado, here is your 2015 MLS Week 1 TV schedule. Since UniMas & UDN will rotate the spanish team each week, I will not post them here.

2014 CFL Week 10 TV Schedule & Announcing Assignments

The networks of ESPN begin showing CFL games on Sunday head-to-head against the NFL next week. This week, however, you're in for your usual ESPN3 stream, with all games also being on TSN. Here's the upcoming schedule.

Friday, August 29

7:30 PM- Ottawa Redblacks at Montreal Alouettes

Announcers: Rod Black, Duane Ford, John Lu

RDS Announcers: Denis Casavant, Pierre Vercheval, Matthieu Prolux, Mike Sutherland, Marc Labrecque

Sunday, August 31

Monday, September 1

2014 CFL Week 9 TV Schedule & Announcing Assignments

Once again the CFL takes center stage this weekend on TSN and ESPN3. Next week will bring us to the halfway stage. Here's your updated standings and this weeks schedule. Sunday's announcing assignments will be filled in as soon as TSN posts the info. Surprisingly they still haven't yet.

WEST DIVISION

(6-1) Calgary

(6-1) Edmonton

(5-2) Saskatchewan 

(5-3) BC

(5-3) Winnipeg

EAST DIVISION

(3-5) Toronto 

(1-6) Hamilton

(1-6) Montreal

 (1-6) Ottawa 

Remember that in the CFL only 6 teams make the playoffs. The top two teams in each division make the playoffs. After that the 5th and 6th place teams are determined by whom has the most points. You get 2 points for each win, 1 for a tie, and 0 for a loss. 

If two or more teams tie in a division, the following tiebreaking procedure is used.  

*Most wins in all games

*Head-to-head winning precentage

*Head-to-head point difference

*Tiebreakers 2 & 3 applied for all division games

*Tiebreakers 2 & 3 applied for all games

*Coin toss

Notes: 

* In a 3-team scenario, once a team is eliminated by one of the tiebreakers, the tiebreakers revert back to the first steo to determine which other team will be eliminated.

*Tiebreakers apply only within the division and don't apply to the 5/6 crossover. If the 3rd place team within a division is tied with the fourth place team from the other division, the 3rd place team within the division automatically gets the spot. Currently the tiebreaker would be used between BC and Winnipeg to determine who gets the 6-seed in the playoff. It would also be used to determine who gets the 1-seed between Calgary & Edmonton and the 2nd team from the East.
