CBS is bringing another new show, Kickin’ It, to its free-to-stream CBS Sports Golazo Network. The show features Kate Abdo alongside Clint Dempsey, Maurice Edu and Charlie Davies. Rather than providing their usual CONCACAF international competition coverage, the foursome is taking a more conversational approach to talking about the beautiful game.
On Kickin’ It, the group is going to share their authentic stories to have in-depth conversations about their experiences in soccer. Moreover, they will feature guests on the show who are among the most recognized names in the sport. For example, Thierry Henry, USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner and USMNT icon Jozy Altidore are among the names to feature early on.
Henry is the focal point of the two-part opening for the show that debuts on Sep. 20. CBS is debuting its official trailer for the program on Wednesday during its US Open Cup coverage at 6 p.m. ET. That game between Inter Miami and FC Cincinnati is also streaming on the free-to-use CBS Sports Golazo Network. Coverage is also available on Paramount+.
Our Pick:Includes: Champions League, Europa League, Serie A, NWSL, Argentine Primera, Brasileirão, Scottish Premiership, Women's Super League, & More |

This four-person crew is a familiar sight to those who watch CBS’s coverage of CONCACAF competitions. Each of them was behind the desk and on location for the CONCACAF Nations League Finals. In fact, that is how the camaraderie between the crew developed over the years.
