When the Champions League and Europa League resume next month, they will have a new English-language broadcast at home in the United States, and plans for the matches have been revealed.
CBS replaces Turner for the remainder of this season’s Champions League and Europa League for the next 4 editions, and announced Wednesday that two of the 4 eighth-round matches and the Champions League final will be broadcast. on CBS Sports Network, while the rest of the festival made over and all the resurgence of the Europa League will be broadcast on the CBS All Access broadcast service.
CBS said that in circular 16 of the Champions League, when there are two sets of simultaneous games, CBS Sports Network can move to a more competitive game if occasions require it. All 3 games on CBS Sports Network will have a 90-minute pre-game program.
The studio’s skill will feature Kate Abdo, Roberto Martinez, Jamie Carragher, Ruud Gullit, Alex Scott, Peter Schmeichel and Micah Richards, while the right commentators will be Clive Tyldesley and Peter Drury.
CBS is not scheduled to begin broadcasting competitions between UEFA clubs until the summer of 2021, however, Turner withdrew its rights agreement early, and CBS added another season and replaced its previous deal this month. The short track and the already established streaming show resulted in limited television windows.
“Due to the short response time and the fact that CBS Television Network already had previous commitments at the same time of the final tournament on Sunday, August 23, ViacomCBS will provide the latest on platforms on CBS Sports Network and CBS All Access.” CBS said in a statement.
CBS offers loose testing for new subscribers until mid-August, meaning the audience can watch the rest of the Champions League and Europa League to lose the streaming app. Viewers can also watch the competitions on Spanish television Univision and its networks.
Starting with the 2020-2021 season and its agreement, which runs until 2023-24, CBS says it will “present the largest number of UEFA matches broadcast on American television.” The 2020–2021 Champions League final will be broadcast on CBS in May 2021.
CBS has just finished its career with the broadcast of the NWSL Challenge Cup, which resulted in a record number of league audiences on two occasions, the only two games broadcast on television from the tournament. The opening game attracted an average of 572,000 spectators, while last Sunday had 653,000 spectators. The rest of the tournament was broadcast on All Access.
The Champions League and Europa League have had their schedules and format particularly altered through the coronavirus pandemic, and UEFA ensured that national seasons end before the continental competitions are completed. The two stopped in the 16-year circular, with the Champions League halfway and leaving four games to play, while the Europa League has six games to play. Two Europa League circulars, Inter Milan-Getafe and Sevilla-Roma, have not had to spend their matches as planned and will be in place of single-stage matches.
The quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals will be all singles matches (the quarter-finals and the semi-finals are two matches) played in a single country. Champions League matches will be played in two stadiums in Lisbon, Portugal, while Europa League matches will be played at 4 venues in Germany.
