The DfB saw their prized top flight league go from being in 11 million homes in the US to 116 million homes, a 954% increase. FOX also had more faith in it's marketability as the season went on, seeing it's live broadcasts increase from 141 to 230 games.

Anyone that lives in the states would know that the Bundesliga presentation in USA is really crap...

Most of the bayern games were shown on television, however a good chunk, maybe half of them were on FS2, which either do not carry or do not have in HD. I, have Fs2 on hd, however, last year I only had FS1 on hd and FS2 on SD.

Fox really needs to improve their presentation of Bundesliga in America. This is the same channel/network that picked nascar over bayern vs dortmund...

I noticed that Fox moved BuLi games to my local channel for the last two or three weeks which probably made it easier for many more Americans to watch other than moving it to FS2.

USA has NFL, NBA, MLB, etc so they are too busy for start supporting european "soccer".

If Bayern wants to enter to the "Americans" marketing, then make a NFL football team.

Way that Fox Sports does it is...

College football>college basketball >Nascar>Bundesliga

Also, another to remember is that fs1, fs2 and fs deportes are on most basic cable packages, whileas the spanish league, italian league and french league are shown via BEIN sports, which are for more premium packages.

They had plenty of times where bayern games got pulled off the main Fs1 channel and demoted to fs2 like bayern vs dortmund game. So, in essense it's bayern games and leverkusen ones because of chica than the general bundesliga games... The EPL you can watch usually two games at once on nbc sports and usa and some tv providers give epl extra time which you can see every epl game on tv....

BEIN sports is primary Madrid >Barcelona>Juventus>PSG

Are there illegal providers, who using card sharing, provide channels via satellite or IPTV in the USA?

Is it that bad in the USA?

No, it's not... IPTV is very common from what I've seen.

Worst I've heard from experience is your cable/internet provider sends you a warning notice if any illegal stuff is going on.

I was just kidding

To me, this year was an absolute dream compared to other seasons.

Yes, not everything was perfect, but almost all the FCB matches were on the tube and those which were not were available on Fox Sports online purchase.

I will trade the extra cost any day compared (in recent years) to previously watching poor quality streams with malware attacks constantly coming through.

Before that, I don't even want to mention, no Bundesliga at all available anywhere at anytime.

For myself as well, I will never watch streams unless I have to... Which is usually never.

Only a handful amount of bayern games were not shown on tele, but even than unless you had FS2 on hd, fs2 sd was really crap.

The league itself was not a good presentation though, it was essentially bayern games and chicarito games.
