NFL, MLB, Premiership and Pro League Preseason to air on ESPN

NFL, MLB, Premiership and Pro League Preseason to air on ESPN

ESPN will air preseason action from the National Football League (NFL), the Eredivisie, the Belgian Pro League, the Scottish Premiership, and Major League Baseball (MLB) from Friday, August 9, to Thursday, August 15, 2024.

The Seattle Mariners face the Detroit Tigers in a Major League Baseball (MLB) game on Friday, August 9 (03:40 LIVE on ESPN), while the evening features Groningen’s first 2024-25 Eredivisie match against NAC Breda.

The Eredivisie continues strongly through Saturday 10 August, with the afternoon featuring Feyenoord hosting Willem II, before champions PSV begin the defense of their title at home to RKC Waalwijk (16:30 and 21:00 LIVE on ESPN).

PSV manager Peter Bosz says his team has deliberately chosen a difficult preseason program to get off to a flying start in competitive action: “We have very consciously looked at tough opponents in this preparation. Recently with practice matches against Belgian clubs, who were further along in the preparation, and soon with Valencia, for example.

“To imitate last year’s matches with Sturm Graz and Rangers in a certain way. Because of the intensity of those matches, we were completely ready when the competition started. Everyone also felt that we had to perform immediately.”
