The only US programming available in Europe is whatever is rebroadcast on the local or satellite channels. Apparently the difficulty is the curvature of the earth, which makes it impossible to receive signals directly from the satellites in stationary orbit over the US.

But check with whatever cable or satellite companies there are in Spain/Portugal. CanalSat in France has a number of sports stations, including the "exported" version of ESPN. MSNBC also broadcasts lots of golf on the weekends when there is no stock ticker to report on.
