Soccer Central was a soccer news program that was broadcast by the Canadian sports channel Sportsnet. The program was first introduced on August 17, 2012 as Fox Soccer News; the program was originally produced for U.S. cable channel Fox Soccer as a replacement for the Fox Soccer Report, which was produced out of Winnipeg by the now-defunct Fox Sports World Canada in a similar arrangement.[1][2]

With the launch of Fox Sports 1, Fox Soccer News was supplanted by the in-house production Fox Soccer Daily, which premiered on August 19, 2013.[3] Consequently, Fox Soccer News was re-branded as Soccer Central (the original name of Sportsnet's soccer pre-game show, which had been renamed Soccer Central Matchday).

The show aired as a half an hour show from Monday through Friday (Monday-Thursday known as Soccer Central and Friday known as The Soccer Central Roundtable) and an hour show (Soccer Central Weekend Review) on Sunday.
