The Barclays FA Women’s Super League (BFAWSL) will have a new home after announcing that CBS Sports will become the exclusive U.S. English-language right’s holder. The multi-year deal was announced by CBS Sports and the English Football Association (the FA) earlier today and will allow one of Europe’s top women’s soccer league matches to steam on Paramount+ and the CBS Sports Network.

CBS Sports will be the home of 57 BFAWSL matches during both the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons. CBS Sports Network will air a select number of matches from the 12-team league exclusively, with the majority available to stream on Paramount+.

“The Barclays FA Women’s Super League features some of the most recognizable soccer brands in the world, and is an excellent addition to CBS Sports’ premium soccer portfolio,” said Dan Weinberg, Executive Vice President, Programming, CBS Sports, in a press release. “We look forward to bringing the exciting action of the BFAWSL to fans across Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network. With our wide array of soccer properties and robust year-round match coverage, we are a must-have for soccer fans.”

We look forward to working with them over the next few years.”
