The Fox Soccer Channel wants to make sure that soccer fans across the US can keep up-to-date on their favorite leagues and teams. The network has launched a weekly text message service that delivers match information plus teasers for the channel’s wide range of programming to drive viewership.

Coverage on Fox Soccer Channel includes England’s Barclays Premier League, Italy’s Serie A, Major League Soccer, Women’s Professional Soccer and a host of international tournaments such as the FA Cup and CONCACAF Champions League.
