When I click on the CBS Sports link this is the info I see for Aqua Centurions / Tokyo Frog Kings / LA Current / Toronto Titans; October 24 & October 25, 6 – 8 a.m. / 12 – 2 p.m. When I go to CBS Sports channel on my YouTube TV subscription I see no swimming at all on October 24, I only see swimming on October 25 at 11 CST? I’m so confused…

Where can one find the live results (aka the actual times/splits)? I get they are trying to make the ISL more digestible to non-swimming fans, but they aren’t posting times.

Any thoughts on best way to watch matches London Roar are not involved in in the UK? Doesn’t seem to be any Eurosport coverage today from looking at their guide.
