Fox Soccer Channel has lost the rights to broadcast football (soccer) games from top European leagues La Liga (Spain) and Serie A (Italy). Al Jazeera Sports Network has won the rights to broadcast those games for the 2012-2013 seasons onward. They will broadcast the games on their sports channels beIN Sports 1 and beIN Sports 2 which are currently not part of your FiOS channel lineup.
Unless Verizon adds these channels to their FiOS lineup, Verizon customers in North America will be unable to see any games from La Liga and Serie A. The games won't be available online through legal channels either. This means that Verizon customers will have no access to games from such high profile teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, etc.
Please add beIN Sports 1 and beIN Sports 2 to the FiOS channel lineup.
Dear Verizon,
I am so happy I no longer have to log in here or check Google News to see if any developments have happened. I called DirectTV and made the switch. After this Sunday, I will be cancelling my services with you. It was a fun ride but I must move to where they broadcast a channel that you wont... I'm sure in the next days, weeks or even months, more users will leave to bigger and better things. Take care.
Regards,

Please add beIN Sport!!!! I was ABOUT to switch to dish because of this channel. I seriously had a Dish rep call my cell number several times but decided to ignore the call; just because I really like Verizon FIOS. I don't have a contract with you guys so it wouldn't cost me anything to switch. Dish is offering a lot to switch so it's very tempting.
Please add beIN Sports and I will most likely never think about switching carriers again. I have everything with Verizon!
At least please tell us if you will add the channel or not so that your customers can make an informed decision. I look forward to your response!
US vs Jamaica world cup quilifier is Friday on BeIN channel, and the sad thing is that I'm going to have to go see it at my friend's house(Directv) instead of them coming to my house to watch it on my FIOS tv. Sad day will be.![]()
