Not ESL but do we know if Toronto's games are going to be on here? Seems like it would be good easy content for the new Rugby League channel.

It's broadcast on Fox Sports again this season. Usually we get their Thursday and Friday night games, airing around 6am Friday/Saturday respectively. We also get all Catalans home games on a Saturday night, usually around 11:30pm.

I've not heard anything about Toronto being featured on the channel and I doubt they would bother with League 1 when they don't even showcase the Championship.

I'm not even sure if the championship is on tv back home anymore. I just thought this Perez might have tried to get the games broadcast here to boost his sponsorship potential.

I'm sure I've seen on the ESL site that they cover 1 game a week of the Championship.

No, the Championship regular season hasn't been televised for a couple of years, Sky Sports bought back the rights in about 2014 but choose not to show them for some reason. The Middle 8's are televised and those matches could include Championship sides, but the only regular season matches on TV for the last few years are the Summer Bash matches.
