CBS to bring on-site coverage of CONCACAF W Championship

CBS has announced its coverage of the CONCACAF W Championship scheduled for July in Mexico City.

With eight teams competing and spots at the 2023 World Cup and 2024 Olympics at stake, there is much to play for. Plus, the women’s soccer scene in North America is one of the strongest in the world. Therefore, talent abounds on CBS Sports Network and Paramount+ in July.

For the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship, CBS is putting the majority of the games on Paramount+. This is the paid-streaming service for CBS that provides access to other soccer competitions as well. For example, the UEFA Champions League, Serie A, NWSL, CONCACAF Men’s World Cup Qualifying and more all go through Paramount+.

In this competition, that means 12 games are exclusive to Paramount+, including the Final and third-place playoff. That being said, there are select games in the CONCACAF W Championship to air on CBS Sports Network. Notably, those are the two opening games between the USWNT and Haiti followed by Mexico hosting Jamaica. The other two games on CBS Sports Network are the semifinal matchups scheduled for Thursday, July 14.

Keep in mind that if you have a subscription to Paramount+, you have access to all of the games in the CONCACAF W Championship. The games on CBS Sports Network will be simulcast on Paramount+.
