Will U-Verse offer beIN Sports USA

[polhfc]

Will AT&T-U/Verse offer BeIN Sports USA when it begins on August 1? This network has the license for US distribution of Spanish (La Liga), French (Ligue 1) and Italian soccer (Serie A), which will no longer appear on Gol TV, which UVERSE current offers. I know that all soccer fans will want this provider included in UVERSES, or they will migrate to a cable or satellite provider who does. I doubt anyone cares that the owner is from Qatar and owns al-Jazeera, since FIFA did not care when Qatar was awarded the World Cup.

Here is an update on this channel's negotiations with TV providers:

According to the Bigsoccer forum beIN has signed a deal to be on Uverse.[when it'll go live is anyone's guess]

The article linked to doesn't "solve" anything.  The question is when will Uverse offer BeIn Sports USA so subscribers can watch La Liga games?

This is the U-verse customer forum.  We are U-verse customers not AT&T employees.  Your question cannot be answered on this forum.

I guess I was fooled by the "solved" announcement responding to the prior post asking when Uverse would start offering BeIn Sports USA.

Threads are marked "solved" by the creator of the thread.  You would need to discuss with the OP the reasons that he marked it solved.

[soccer2012]

beIn Sports got the exclusive rights for La Liga and Serie A. No Messi or Ronaldo, No Real Madrid or Barcelona? No Juve or Milan? Does Uverse understand soccer fans? I really like Uverse but isn't the whole reason of having cable this days is to watch the sports you can't watch over the air or online?

[JuanBen]

Does anybody know when how long to wait before I swicht to satelite TV? A week, maybe two?  Can someone help me?

Thanks

Certainly u-verse has a great TV and DVR technology. But I have to watch my favorite soccer games in my neighbor house (Direct TV) this weekend. Please add beIN sports to your line-up, I just get u-verse 3 month ago and I am regretting it. Great TV but you need to upgrade your sports channels

Came across this quote over at BigSoccer.com from a fairly knowledgable forum member. Can anyone verify?

"the AT&T Uverse deal has been sealed for over a week...I dont know what the hold up is on announcing it.. maybe they have other carriage deals they want to announce all at one."

Apparently someone called and an AT&T rep said it would be available on the Sports Package

A lot of people would pay additional $5 to get a sport package if ATT carries BeIN Sport in their sport package. Please be quick as the soccer season has started and I know many people would switch to DirecTV if ATT does not have BeIN TV ASAP.

I know a lot friends that want to add BeIN sport to watch soccer. If you are not a soccer fan, just {keep it courteous}as adding another soccer channel would not hurt you but will benefit other people. Why you are here debating how many soccer fans around here? It is not the point we want to discuss and show ATT anyway.

[pluto88]

Whatever Mr. Oklahoma there are enough soccer fans such that Att&t needs beIN sports to compete. If they don't add beIN soon, I'm going back to Direct.TV.
stick to your world-renowned, Olympic, all American sport: NFL.
'MERICA

[pluto88]

beIN sports is the only channel that offers the most pretigious and certainly the most popular  "soccer" leagues in world. Furthermore without this channel you are disenfranchising millions of At&t soccer fans around the US, whom of which mostly  want to enjoy the two most talented players in world today. 

I highly suggest you add this channel before you see a mass exodus to directtv of dish network. 

[JuanBen]

Si it happend, I attended a intenational soccer game at Stamford Uiversitty in California and we were more than 90,000.  That happened sometime ago. You don't know what you're talking about.

[evaldes1583]

So in addition to DISH and DirectTV getting it now Comcast has it too, if Uverse doesn't hurry there are too many options out there to consider...

[Marchisio]

DirecTV and Dish have been carrying it and now Comcast is going to launch it based on the BeIN Sport twitter. The European soccer season has started (La Liga started last week and Italian Serie A starts this weekend), I am desperate to get this channal ASAP on my U-verse TV.

When did Comcast add Bein Sports?

[britshwestham]

And just to add, if you folks haven't yet, please add your request to http://uversechannels.att.com/  Just added my voice too. I was like may of you in shock when Italian and Spanish soccer wasn't available. Totally missed that piece of news.

I think there is some confusion.  Bein Sports new sent a twitter about Comcast carrying Bein Sports.  Comcast created the tweet found in the link below 2 days ago which basically says that they are negotiating with Bein Sports:
