The new soccer season is about to start. There are plenty of big matches to add to your must-watch list. Whether you want to catch the likes of Liverpool's Mo Salah and Manchester City's Erling Haaland competing in FA Cup, see Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., and Kylian Mbappé in La Liga, or Bayern Munich's Harry Kane and Alphonso Davies in the German Bundesliga, you've come to the right place.
So let GOAL walk you through the ways to keep up-to-date on all the latest and greatest soccer matches this year.
