<p>Wondering how to watch the US Open Cup, America’s oldest soccer competition? We’ve got all the info you need.</p>
<h3>Where to watch the US Open Cup on US TV and streaming</h3>
<p>2023 is the first year of a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/us-soccer-announce-new-tv-deal-turner-sports-20220301-CMS-373327.html">new rights deal between US Soccer and Turner Sports</a>. The pact has shifted US men’s and women’s national team games to the TNT Network and <a href="https://hbomax.prf.hn/click/camref:1101lvEdz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HBO Max</a>. But it also included the US Open Cup, however the tournament has seemingly been a bit of an afterthought.</p>
<p>2022 saw the tournament return after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19. Every match of the tournament proper was streamed in ESPN+ that year. In 2023, however, only some early round games were officially streamed. Rounds one and two saw select games on the Bleacher Report App and YouTube page. The remainder of games were left to the teams themselves to stream.</p>
<p>Round three added additional games on <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cbs-announces-24-7-soccer-channel-cbs-golazo-network-20230308-WST-422664.html">CBS Sports Golazo Network</a>, the free soccer streaming channel, available on CBSSports.com, Pluto TV, and through <a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paramount+</a>.</p>
<p>Starting with the round of 32, every game is officially streamed. Bleacher Report and Golazo streams are supplemented by games hosted on U.S. Soccer’s YouTube channel.</p>
<p>It can get confusing to follow which games are where, so check our <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/us-open-cup-tv-schedule/">full US Open Cup TV and streaming schedule</a> for the latest listings, or our free <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/2020/12/26/soccer-tv-schedules-app-making-it-easier-to-watch-soccer-games-on-tv/">Soccer TV Schedules app</a>.</p>
<div class="stvs-grid" id="team-380237-44-America/New_York"></div><div class="wst-home-matches"></div>
<p>The silver lining to the new patchwork of streaming platforms is that every game is available for free, with no subscriptions required.</p>
<p>As of the time of publication, details for the later rounds of the tournament have yet to be revealed, but it is possible that at least the 2023 Final will find its way onto linear TV. As evidenced by the CBS Golazo games, the Open Cup is not limited strictly to Turner platforms as part of the deal, so games could theoretically pop up anywhere.</p>

<p>You can try streaming service Paramount+ free for one month by taking advantage of a special offer through January 31, 2023.</p>



<p>Paramount+ is the exclusive home of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/serie-a-tv-schedule">Serie A</a>. The Italian top flight returned to action last week following the World Cup break. Usual suspects Napoli, AC Milan, Juventus, Inter, Lazio, Roma and Atalanta are currently battling for the Scudetto as well as a top 4 place and a spot in next year’s <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule">UEFA Champions League</a>.</p>



<p>The one free month deal is available to new subscribers, so if you’ve never tried <a href="https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paramount+</a> before, now is the time. You can get your free month by using the promo code SERIEA when signing up. The offer expires at the end of the month, so jump on it while you can.</p>

<p>In addition to Serie A, Paramount+ also features <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/what-soccer-games-are-coming-to-paramount-in-january-20230105-WST-414338.html">a ton more soccer in January</a>. Plus February brings the headline act is of course the UEFA Champions League, along with <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/europa-league-tv-schedule/">Europa League</a>, and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/conference-league-tv-schedule/">Europa Conference League</a>. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/superliga-argentina-tv-schedule/">Argentine Primera</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/brasileirao-tv-schedule-and-streaming-links/">Brasilerião</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/scottish-premiership-tv-schedule/">Scottish Premiership</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/womens-super-league-tv-schedule/">Women’s Super League</a> and various international competitions also feature on the service. </p>



<h2>Paramount+ free trial for soccer fans</h2>



<p>While some of these competitions won’t be in season for the duration of the free month offer, at $4.99/month for the Essential plan (which comes with all the live soccer noted above) keeping your subscription after the trial is a pretty decent value for soccer fans.</p>



<p>Paramount+ has big plans for the future too. Here’s what one of their executives told World Soccer Talk recently: “We want to be a year-round must-subscribe destination for soccer fans. We’re trying to do that by building a service that is for those fans, cares about those fans and presents it in an authentic way.”<br><br><em>Photo credit : Imago </em></p>


Paramount+ is running a special offer for one month free, giving soccer fans the chance to catch Serie A, the Scottish Premiership, and more.

<p>Paramount+’s new features allow fans to pause and rewind live games.</p>



<p>With the streaming service <a href="https:\/\/paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paramount+</a>, you are now able to use the new functionality for <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">UEFA Champions League</a> games. If you miss a key moment, you can rewind the live action. Or if you need to step away from the screen, you can pause the action and resume it when you return. You can also fast forward to the live action.</p>



<h2>Availability of Paramount+’s new features</h2>



<p>As of press time, the <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/channels/paramount-plus-soccer-schedule/">Paramount+</a> feature is available on the following devices:</p>



<ul><li>Roku</li><li>Desktop/laptop</li><li>Apple TV</li><li>iOS and Android</li><li>Android TV, and</li><li>Amazon Fire TV</li></ul>



<p>This new development is a welcome relief for soccer fans. With Paramount+ priced at $4.99 per month, it’s one of the most affordable streaming services for soccer fans. However, it was missing basic functionality. Hence, with the addition of pause and rewind, it’s now effectively complete. However, there are a few other <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/2022/08/11/how-paramount-plus-can-improve/">features we would love to see on Paramount+</a>.</p>



<h2>Positive changes for the future</h2>



<p>Given that <a href="https:\/\/www.digitaltveurope.com/2022/08/22/champions-league-to-stay-on-paramount-as-cbs-sports-renews-uefa-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CBS Sports recently renewed its rights</a> to the UEFA Champions League through 2030, the new features are going to satisfy soccer fans for several more years of action.</p>



<p>Each year, Paramount+ features more than 2,000 soccer games. In addition to the Champions League, Paramount+ has the rights to Serie A, Europa League, Europa Conference League, Asian Football Confederation, CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying, NWSL, Scottish Premiership and many other competitions. Those other ones include Argentine league, Brasileirao league, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana, among others.</p>

<p>With Paramount+, you can also access tens of thousands of episodes from CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Smithsonian Channel, as well as hundreds of iconic movies from Paramount Pictures.</p>



<p>It also features NFL, college football, NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, The Masters, PGA Championship, PGA Tour and more sports.</p>

<p>Paramount+ can get better, just like every other streaming platform can improve. Yesterday <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/2022/08/10/peacock-tv-wishlist-of-improvements/">we looked at Peacock</a>. Today it’s Paramount+’s turn.</p>
<p>This is not necessarily a slight to <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/channels/paramount-plus-soccer-schedule/">Paramount+</a> and what CBS does with its paid-streaming service. In fact, the Champions League coverage and Serie A coverage are among the best for studio coverage that we have here in the United States. Both programs are informative, entertaining and abundant in their coverage throughout those campaigns. It helps to have the talent and behind-the-scenes action those crews possess.</p>
<p>Looking back at CBS All Access, the former name of Paramount+ before its rebrand, a jump is noticeable. Acquisition of more properties certainly helps that. Since launching back in 2014, the platform did not prioritize soccer. That is not the case anymore, especially given the last couple of years. Last season <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/2021/03/23/cbs-sports-acquire-rights-to-serie-a-for-next-3-seasons-according-to-report/">debuted Serie A</a>, and just before that came the UEFA Champions League.</p>
<p>Now, <a href="https:\/\/paramountplus.qflm.net/c/330866/1007330/3065" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Paramount+</a> is the American viewership home of the Asian Football Confederation, CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying, NWSL, Scottish Premiership and much more.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the point remains. Paramount+ can improve. So, here are a handful of things that we, as soccer fans exclusively, would like to see out of the platform.</p>
<h3>How Paramount+ can improve for soccer fans</h3>

<h5>1. Add a rewind feature</h5>
<p>In soccer, the best plays can start well before a goal is scored. Either that, or some moments warrant a second glance because they are so breathtaking. The little 10-second rewind option on <a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/mWebq" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ESPN+</a> allows fans to see something and get another look at it.</p>
<p>Sure, replays and VAR may force us to watch whether or not a player used his or her hand on the ball on endless repeat. Yet, there are always instances that may fly under the radar that stand out for us.</p>
<h5>2. Select Champions League audio in multicast</h5>
<p>Personally, I am a fan of natural crowd noise. That is not what this refers to.</p>
<p>During the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, Paramount+ launched a multicast that displayed simultaneous games on one screen. It is an awesome feature that allows fans to keep track of two games at the same time. It is like a continuous <em>Golazo! Show.</em></p>
<p>However, the one issue is that someone at CBS selects which audio plays. This is fine, as that person just chooses the audio of which game has more excitement in one particular moment. Yet, in the event that both games have drama unfolding at once, it would be nice to have the user select which audio THEY want to listen to.</p>
<h5>3. Promote the lesser-known competitions</h5>
<p>Whenever I enter Paramount+, the first thing I see is the slider. There, the platform promotes a TV show or movie on the first slide. Or, it may show its coverage of the UEFA European competition on that day.</p>
<p>I would like to see more promotion of things like the AFC Champions League, NWSL or the domestic leagues down in South America. Nothing wrong with propping up the Champions League, just have to share the love. Of all the areas Paramount+ can improve, this seems the most beneficial to soccer as a whole in the U.S.</p>
<h5>4. Expand the multicast feature for more options</h5>
<p>This one may be a little ambitious. With the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, there can be as many as eight games in one competition at the same time. The Champions League, for its part, does no more than four games in one time slot.</p>
<p>However, it would be ideal to have an option to select two games, or even more, to watch on one screen at the same time. Combine that with the audio select choice brought up previously, and watching European competition is a new level of enjoyment.</p>
<h5>5. Deliver on-demand games faster</h5>
<p>Consistency is key. Oftentimes, Paramount+ releases finished games later than some fans may want. Instead of having the ability to dive into a game practically after it finishes to watch it in case you missed it, fans may have to wait.</p>
<p>As it stands, the earlier the better. Especially for those games from Europe, when fans rush home after work to watch the games that night.</p>


Despite growing and holding great soccer leagues and studio crews, Paramount+ can still improve. Here are five examples that we could see.
