FOX Sports to broadcast College Football Sydney Cup

FOX Sports will broadcast the 2016 College Football Sydney Cup, while ESPN will air the event into the US to potentially millions of Americans.

It will be produced locally at ANZ stadium before the feed heads to ESPN headquarters in Bristol USA and back to Foxtel.

ESPN will be sending an extensive team of statisticians, producers, directors and camera experts down under to assist with the production.

FOX Sports NRL commentator, Warren Smith, joins the US commentary team to provide on-site colour and injury reports from the boundary.

”It’s a fantastic initiative to bring the season opening College Football game to Sydney. Aussies have fallen in love with American Football and I can’t wait to be part of the commentary team, that delivers the match from Sydney to millions of fans around the world and of course live to Foxtel sports subscribers,” he said.

Deanne Weir, Managing Director, Content Aggregation and Wholesale for Foxtel said “We are thrilled to be partnering with the College Football Sydney Cup, the very first NCAA College Football game for the season and the first time American football has been played in Australia since 1999.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for us to highlight our huge range of US sport which features on our channel partners ESPN and FOX Sports.

“This event promises to be something that’s never been seen in Australia before, and I am thrilled our partners at FOX Sports will broadcast it to our subscribers live and exclusively.”
