Coverage begins at 2:00 PM ET on FS1 with a 30-minute pregame show hosted by Ian Joy with analysts Eric Wynalda and Jovan Kirovski. The action continues Saturday, Aug. 27, with five-time Bundesliga champions Borussia M’gladbach taking on Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez’s Bayer Leverkusen. Coverage begins at 12:00 PM ET on the FOX broadcast network with a 30-minute pregame show from Los Angeles with Joy, Wynalda, Kirovski and Brad Friedel in studio, while John Strong and Stu Holden call the action. On the Spanish-language side, FOX Deportes’ pregame coverage begins at 11:30 AM ET with John Laguna and Mariano Trujillo. Sunday’s lineup includes a clash between Hertha Berlin-Freiburg at 9:00 AM ET on FS1, and Hoffenheim-Leipzig at 11:20 AM ET on FS2.
