On Friday, CBS Sports announced the launch of its latest free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel, which will focus on the network’s premier soccer property.
Champions League is dedicated to all things UEFA Champions League and is now available on Pluto TV and the CBS Sports app on connected televisions. The channel will soon be available on the CBS Sports mobile app, CBSSports.com, and Paramount+.
“UEFA Champions League represents the absolute best soccer in the world, and this new channel delivers fans an always-on venue to relive the special moments, sensational goals, iconic players and storied clubs that define this one-of-a-kind tournament,” said Jeffrey Gerttula, executive vice president, digital, of CBS Sports, News, Stations and Entertainment. “CBS Sports is the 24/7 home for soccer fans in this country, and we’re excited for this latest addition to our industry-leading multiplatform soccer coverage.”
Content that will stream on Champions League includes “brilliant goals, legendary players, unforgettable matches and more from this season’s matches and throughout the tournament’s epic history.”
CBS has experienced plenty of success with FAST channels going back to the launch of CBS Sports HQ in 2018. HQ continues to thrive and was followed by the launch of the Golazo Network last March. The Golazo Network, which launched with Morning Footy, has continued adding studio programming to its slate of live matches, including the women’s soccer-focused Attacking Third, interview show Kickin’ It, and the highlights-oriented Scoreline.
