More Views: Expanding NWSL Media Coverage

With an increased demand for women's soccer comes a new media rights package for the NWSL. The expansion builds on agreements already in place with CBS Sports and ESPN, while adding a new partnership with Victory+.

So what does this mean? We'll see weekly regular-season matches on ABC and ESPN (either via the network channel or on the app) and more regular-season matches on CBS Sports Network. ESPN and ABC will also have exclusive rights to all eight Decision Day matches. The NWSL Championship will remain on CBS and Paramount+.

We'll also see 25 new weekly Sunday primetime matches on Victory+ in 2026.

With last year's media rights deal, the NWSL saw record viewership this season, quadrupling audiences and increasing gains across key demographics.

Here's a quick overview of where you can find the 2026 season matches:

• CBS Sports: 38 matches

• ESPN: 36 matches

• Victory+: 57 matches

• Prime Video: 27 matches

• Scripps/ION: 50 matches

• NWSL+: 40 matches
