Soccer Channels

Soccer broadcasting in North America is fragmented across more platforms than any other sport. The Premier League is on NBC/Peacock, La Liga on ESPN+, Serie A on Paramount+/CBS, Bundesliga on ESPN+, Ligue 1 on beIN Sports, MLS on Apple TV, Liga MX on TUDN, and Champions League on Paramount+. Watching all major leagues through official channels requires five or more separate subscriptions. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico, soccer viewership in North America is at an all-time high.
