With Fox Soccer being converted into a 2nd FX...

[Deadlocked]

Will BeIN and/or NBC Sports Network slide into the sports package to fill the soccer gap?

I don't see why not. BeIN is free for Dish yet is somehow in the highest tier.

NBC SN is def going to drop a tier or two before the end of summer

If it doesn't, I'm gone. No reasonably priced EPL means no Dish or probably anyone else.

Without EPL coverage, goodbye Fox Soccer Channel. Just curious if they fold (or turn into FX2) what happens to the UEFA Champions Leagues games they still have the rights to.

Luckily it is moving to NBC Sports Channel which we already get. Interesting that ESPN is also being cut out of the EPL deal.

Programming is shuffling around with Fox. I believe FSC is becoming FX2.

Well , it sounded like the EPL would be on multiple stations. Sadly NBC Sports is one of the most expensive channels to get.

Unless you have Comcast.

What happens to FSC+? Is it staying alive (at $15 month)?

I imagine it goes away. Speed becomes FS1 (Fox Sports 1), Fuel becomes FS2 (Fox Sports 2), FSC becomes FX 2.
