The newly launched FEITV website has been blocked from streaming video to the USA. "Unfortunately due to broadcasting restrictions enforced by television networks we are unable to show the Las Vegas World Cup finals in the United States. The coverage will be archived but as of yet we are unsure whether we will be allowed to show the content to US residents. Sorry for any inconvenience caused." performgroup.com
Instead American audiences can watch live on Universal Sports TV an affiliate of NBC, with Robert Dover doing the commentary, and it's free! The Grand Prix is archived, and here is the schedule.
