CBS Sports has signed a multi-year deal with the USL, making it the new home of the league. The agreement covers USL Championship and League One games until the 2027 season. CBS will air 100 matches each year across its platforms, including CBS Television Network, Paramount+, CBS Sports Network, and CBS Sports Golazo Network. The USL Championship final will be broadcast on CBS Television Network and simulcast on Paramount+, while CBS Sports Network will air more than 20 matches and 75 matches will be broadcast on the Golazo Network.
“The United Soccer League – with its expansive and growing presence across the country – is an excellent addition to CBS Sports’ premium soccer portfolio,” said Dan Weinberg, Executive Vice President, Programming, CBS Sports. “We look forward to making the exciting action of the USL more easily available to fans than ever before and elevating the league with coverage across our CBS Sports platforms. With the USL’s addition to our wide array of soccer properties and robust year-round match coverage, CBS Sports continues to be the premier destination for soccer fans in this country.”
The USL Championship and League One will also be featured on other CBS platforms, including Golazo Network programming such as Morning Footy and Box to Box, as well as the Golazo Starting XI newsletter.
The 2023 USL Championship season will conclude on Sunday with the championship match between Charleston Battery and the Phoenix Mercury. The League One campaign ended last Sunday with North Carolina FC’s championship victory.
