CBS Sports Secures U.S. Rights for English Football League

Four-year deal brings over 250 EFL matches annually to American audiences via Paramount+ and CBS Sports networks.

CBS Sports' new agreement marks the widest U.S. distribution of EFL matches to date.
Coverage includes the Championship, League One, League Two, Carabao Cup, and Bristol Street Motors Trophy.
The deal replaces ESPN as the previous EFL rights holder in the U.S., running through the 2027/28 season.
Select matches will air on CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network, with extensive analysis and commentary.
The opening weekend in August features notable teams such as Birmingham City, Burnley, and Leeds United.
