The first live action on ESPN arrives on Friday 2 February, as Bristol City play host to Leeds United in an EFL Championship clash (22:00 LIVE on ESPN).
Leeds manager Daniel Farke recently praised the maturity and quality of his side, as they chase an immediate return to the Premier League: "I like the mentality. I’ve criticised them in the last away games when we’ve had setbacks – penalties denied and red cards – and found it difficult to grind out a result. But we were really on it and showed resilience. It was nice to watch our football, it was pleasing on the eye."
The football action continues on Saturday 3 February, with Aberdeen welcoming Celtic for a Scottish Premiership clash (14:30 LIVE on ESPN), Birmingham City are away to West Bromwich Albion for an EFL Championship derby (17:00 LIVE on ESPN), and PSV head to Amsterdam for a crunch clash with Ajax in the Eredivisie (21:00 LIVE on ESPN).
Further Eredivisie action follows on Sunday 4 February when AZ Alkmaar play host to reigning champions Feyenoord at the AFAS Stadium (15:30 LIVE on ESPN).

The first live action on ESPN 2 arrives on the afternoon of Saturday 3 February, as Rangers and Livingston battle in a Scottish Premiership match (17:00 LIVE on ESPN 2), followed by a Belgian Pro League game pitting Westerlo against OH Leuven (19:15 LIVE on ESPN 2), and then the National Hockey League (NHL) All-Star Game (22:00 LIVE on ESPN 2).
Sunday 4 February brings a double-dose of Belgian Pro League action, as a clash between Antwerp and Club Brugge is followed by Gent's visit to Anderlecht (14:30 and 19:30 LIVE on ESPN 2).
The early morning of Tuesday 6 February features an NHL game in which the New York Rangers will host the Colorado Avalanche (02:00 LIVE on ESPN 2), while the evening brings more Scottish Premiership action as Rangers welcome Aberdeen to Ibrox (22:00 LIVE on ESPN 2).
Aberdeen manager Barry Robson says he is happy to have Shayden Morris and James McGarry back from injury, as both are fundamental to their attacking play: "Getting James and Shayden back will be a real help to us as they give us pace on the sides. When we recruited we looked to get players who could play left-back or left wing-back. It wasn’t so much about the systems. James and Shayden gave us our speed on the sides and we have not had that."
