We have all the information you need on this page if you’re trying to find out how to watch the Championship on US TV and streaming.
The Championship is one of the most entertaining and competitive leagues in the world, attracting fans of many great British clubs, and here in the US there are multiple ways to watch your favorite team play every week, especially now that the EFL signed a new rights deal with CBS ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

The main difference between CBS and ESPN broadcasting the EFL Championship comes from the quantity of games. Across the Championship, League One, and the EFL Cup, CBS, and Paramount+ will provide Americans with coverage of more games. While we do not know how many games specifically for the Championship will be available, the EFL said its rights deal with CBS will have coverage of 250 games across the three competitions. For reference, ESPN+ had coverage of 3-4 Championship games on ESPN+ each weekend.
Clubs’ International Live Streaming
If you’re a fan of a particular Championship club and you want to watch all of the home and away games not shown on Paramount+, you can subscribe to your club’s video streaming service. In the 2017/18 season, the English Football League (EFL) launched a paid subscription service for most Championship, League One and League Two clubs. By doing so, it allowed supporters of these clubs outside the United Kingdom and Ireland to be able to subscribe to live and on-demand streams of their favorite club’s league matches. The groundbreaking change meant that you’ll be able to stream all of your club’s Football League games for the first time.
Some clubs went ahead with their own streaming services instead of iFollow, so you need to check with your club’s official website to see what video streaming options are available.
Note, however, that any games streamed on Paramount+ are not available through your club’s video streaming service or iFollow, so ideally you’ll need to subscribe to both Paramount+ and your club to ensure you don’t miss out on any league matches.
EFL Championship Fixtures
Thankfully, CBS and iFollow provide the opportunities to watch an entertaining competition. However, there are sometimes last-minute changes to the programming schedules. This could be just days before scheduled games kick off.
Therefore, the best way to stay updated on when Championship games are on US TV/streaming is to bookmark our Championship TV schedule. This is updated weekly, or daily, throughout the entire season.
Paramount+ also streams select League One and EFL Cup matches during the season.
Radio Coverage
Check with the official websites of Championship clubs for audio of select matches. You can also find live radio broadcasts of games on TalkSport2, which is available via TuneIn and through the talksport.com website.
From time to time, you can listen to radio commentaries of teams from the Championship on BBC Radio 5 Live – especially during the FA Cup. To unblock the radio broadcast so you can hear it, you’ll need to use a VPN. We recommend Nord VPN.
