There’s a lot to love about the soccer game offering on ESPN+ this February. Here’s what you can expect in the second month of 2023:
FA Cup
It’s not February yet, but this weekend’s FA Cup Round 4 certainly features several games you won’t want to miss. In addition to Arsenal against Manchester City, there is the home game between Wrexham AFC and Sheffield United. With a sold-out crowd expected at the Racecourse Ground, anything could happen, although it will be a tough test for the Red Dragons against a tough Blades team.
Don’t miss any of the FA Cup matches from 27 to 30 January. And watch them all on ESPN+, which includes their new introductory show.
Semifinal and final of the League Cup
The FA Cup fourth round doesn’t return until March 1, but the League Cup features two games in February. First, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest kick off the month on February 1 in the second leg of their semi-final. The Red Devils are one step away from reaching Wembley again.
The final will then pit the winner of that tie against either Southampton or Newcastle on Sunday 26 February.
With Newcastle having a slight lead in the game after winning the first leg 1-0, the Geordies will be dreaming of trying to get some silverware. The last time Newcastle United won a major national trophy was 68 years ago! So forgive the Toon Army for getting excited.
bundesliga
All Bundesliga matches are available live on ESPN+. Key matchups include Dortmund-Freiburg (2/4), Wolfsburg-Bayern (2/5), Leipzig-Union (2/11), Frankfurt-Werder (2/18) and Bayern-Union (2/26).
