ESPN has agreed a new five-year deal to broadcast live coverage of the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League.
The agreement begins this season and includes 30 games a year from the SPL, starting this Sunday with Dundee vs. Aberdeen, as well as 10 Rangers games.
Rangers were recently demoted from the SPL down to the Scottish Third Division after administration forced the club to reform as a newco.
The ESPN deal comes just days after BSkyB confirmed an agreement to broadcast 25 SPL and 5 Rangers games per season.
ESPN is seeking to bulk up its football roster after losing Premier League rights to BT from the 2013-14 season. As well as renewing its rights to Serie A and Bundesliga coverage, the broadcaster has also concluded a deal to air live Ligue 1 games starting this season.
The new SPL season gets underway tomorrow (Saturday), with the Third Division beginning a week later.
