CBS Sports has launched Champions League, a 24-hour streaming channel with nonstop goals and highlights from the flagship UEFA Champions League soccer club games out of Europe. The FAST channel featuring current season and historic game recaps will debut for free on Pluto TV and on connected TV sets through the CBS Sports app.
The launch comes as Paramount+ will continue to show live UEFA Champions League matches, with on-demand game replays. Later this month, the Champions League FAST channel will be made available via the CBS Sports website and Paramount+.
“UEFA Champions League represents the absolute best soccer in the world, and this new channel delivers fans an always-on venue to relive the special moments, sensational goals, iconic players and storied clubs that define this one-of-a-kind tournament,” Jeffrey Gerttula, executive vp of digital at CBS Sports, News, Stations and Entertainment, said in a statement.
CBS Sports first nabbed the rights to UEFA Champions League games in 2020 after Turner Sports called time on its rights deal. The network last year then launched CBS Sports Golazo Network as a free soccer streaming network.
Champions League as a 24-hour streaming channel promises year-round programming from the world’s most prestigious club soccer tournament as CBS Sports gets deeper into European soccer video streaming.
News of the Champions League FAST channel launch comes ahead of the 2024 UEFA Champions League final set for June 1 at Wembley stadium in London.
