CBS Sports and Concacaf struck a new multi-year media rights deal. Paramount+ becomes the exclusive English-language U.S. home for three top Concacaf club competitions through 2030.
What We Know: Paramount+ will stream every match from the Concacaf Champions Cup, Central American Cup and Caribbean Cup. That totals 137 matches annually, including all 51 Champions Cup fixtures. Additionally, select Champions Cup games will air on CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network. Meanwhile, CBSSports.com and Golazo social channels will offer supplemental coverage.
What They Said: Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani: “The Concacaf Champions Cup showcases the very best of club football across our region, bringing together champion clubs and some of the world’s best players in a competition that continues to grow in quality, prestige and global appeal. Through our new partnership with CBS Sports and Paramount+, we are excited to bring every match to fans across the United States with world-class coverage. Building on the tremendous success CBS Sports has achieved with elite international club football, this partnership will further elevate the profile of our clubs, our competitions and our game.”
What Remains Unclear: Financial terms of the agreement remain undisclosed as well.
What It Means: This deal deepens CBS Sports’ investment in international club football, looking to capitalize on the increased interest in the sport following the World Cup. Consequently, Concacaf gains a stable, high-profile broadcast partner through 2030. For fans, comprehensive streaming access replaces fragmented viewing options. Ultimately, both organizations aim to grow the sport’s reach across the region.
