The only sports we watch regularly is the A League, MLS and the Handa Premiership. Not really interested in any other kind of sports, except CPL (Canadian Soccer League) which we watch via paid subscription. And of course the World Cup but that's not happening for a while.

Really not keen to pay Sky prices when we want so little of what they are offering.  I guess the sky streaming thing would be the only somewhat cheaper option. I see posts about ESPN+ but not sure if anyone on here has had success using that from outside the USA.

I'm sure I will be slated for saying this - but watching content via a source other than the service that has the rights for NZ is breaching copyright laws and therefore illegal.  so do it at your own risk.

Particularly if you are using that kind of service to watch the A-League because then your not counted as a metric so your directly disadvantaging the Nix.  

now - let the haters have their say... :-)

Would happily pay, as we do for our Canadian Soccer league but seems a high price for just A League and (maybe) Handa Premiership and the occasional MLS game.

Would happily pay, as we do for our Canadian Soccer, but don't want to shell out big bucks for sports we are not even remotely interested in. The hope is that a soccer specific option comes available but perhaps pigs will fly first...
