European Soccer Season Kicks Off on ESPN+ with Exclusive Kylian Mbappé Cam and more
As LALIGA and Bundesliga kick off their respective seasons on ESPN platforms this month, new ESPN VP Soccer Production Manuel de la Fe previews storylines, storytelling
Led by Manuel de la Fe, the newly appointed Vice President of ESPN soccer production, the ESPN soccer production team is excited to unveil plans to kick off the European soccer season, which will be jam-packed with action from top leagues, including LALIGA, Bundesliga, FA Cup, and Eredivisie.
de la Fe answered some questions for Front Row:
With the 2024/25 LALIGA season kicking off Thursday, German Bundesliga matches beginning next weekend, and Eredivisie playing, what are you most looking forward to this season?
How are you planning to tell the stories of LALIGA’s newcomers Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) and Kylian MBappé (Real Madrid)?
As part of the kickoff coverage, ESPN Deportes’ new, reimagined Ahora o Nunca will present two special post-game shows with segments from the site on Thursday and Friday at 3 p.m. ET and 5:30 p.m. ET, both days. La Peña de la Liga with Cristina Alexander and Alex Pareja will also lead into our double headers on those days.
ESPNFC in English and Fuera de Juego in Spanish will each have coverage with the latest news and analysis of the biggest storylines and stars in the leagues. Later this season, we will have comprehensive coverage of both ElClasicos, with teams of reporters and analysts on-site in Madrid and Barcelona.
