CBS to broadcast WSL matches in United States

With the dust barely settled on the 2025-26 season, WSL Football can confirm that CBS Sports will be the new home of the Barclays Women’s Super League in the United States until the 2029-30 season.   

Beginning with coverage in September 2026, Paramount+ will live stream 183 matches each season, the most matches in the newly expanded competition’s history. CBS Sports Network will air one match per week with select matches also airing on CBS Sports Golazo Network.

In addition to CBS Sports’ coverage of live matches, CBS Sports Golazo Network will provide Barclays Women’s Super League coverage on its dedicated women’s soccer show ATTACKING THIRD, alongside its other studio programming MORNING FOOTY, GOLAZO MATCHDAY and SCORELINE. CBS Sports will provide additional coverage on CBSSports.com, the Golazo Starting XI newsletter, the Attacking Third podcast and across its @WGolazo social accounts.

The record U.S. deal for Barclays WSL was negotiated by WSL Football’s international media rights representative, IMG.

With the addition of England’s top women’s league, CBS Sports bolsters its industry leading women’s soccer rights across CBS, Paramount+, CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network that include the NWSL, UEFA Women’s Champions League, Concacaf W Champions Cup, Concacaf W Gold Cup, Concacaf W Championship, Concacaf W Nations League, Serie A Femminile and select UEFA Women’s World Cup Qualifiers. CBS Sports previously held the rights to the Barclays WSL in the 2023-24 season.

Zarah Al-Kudcy, Chief Revenue Officer, WSL Football, says: “We are excited to welcome CBS Sports back to the Barclays WSL. Their breadth of women’s football rights demonstrates their commitment to the game as does their delivery of content alongside live matches. And with the likes of former Arsenal player Jen Beattie already on their talent roster, we know our league’s storytelling is in good hands.”
