The Canadian #soccer world is in a bit of an upheaval, as far as broadcasting our FIFA Tier 1 league, the Canadian Premier League (#CanPL, #CPL) , #CanMNT and #CanWNT games.
Canada Soccer Business, which is the primary owner of all broadcasting rights for #CanPL games, and all national team games has severed its relationship with #MediaPro and #Onesoccer, the broadcasting and production company that broadcast (and produced) all the coverage of these games.
Just a few weeks before the start of the Canadian Premier League season...
Apparently, MediaPro is broke, and couldn't pay the licensing fee in the fifth year of their 10 year deal with CSB.
For fans, this means watching these soccer matches on television / streaming is completely in limbo.
If you have a OneSoccer subscription, cancel it ASAP. If you have a #Fubo subscription just to get the CanPL games (like I did), also cancel it. Fubo is $60 a quarter ($240 a year), and not cheap (it's almost double the price of F1 TV)
