Paramount+ is the second-cheapest entry to US sports streaming at $7.99/month (Essential tier). For European soccer fans it’s the most important after Peacock — CBS Sports’ US rights to UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League and Serie A all live here. For NFL fans, every CBS NFL Sunday broadcast streams on Paramount+ Essential. For NWSL fans, the Paramount+ NWSL package carries the largest share of US women’s soccer matches. The Champions League rights run through 2030; the NFL on CBS through 2033.

UCL multi-view and matchday flow
During UCL league-phase matchdays (eight per season, September through January), Paramount+ supports four-stream multi-view across the simultaneous 3:00pm ET window — useful for tracking the title race and qualification battles in parallel. The CBS Sports studio show (Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards) anchors the broadcast and is available on demand within minutes of the final whistle.
Connection to wider US sports
For European soccer completeness, pair Paramount+ ($7.99) with Peacock ($7.99) and ESPN+ ($11.99) for $27.97/month — the full Premier League, UCL, La Liga and Serie A trio. For NFL viewers, Paramount+ Essential covers CBS Sunday games but you still need Peacock for Sunday Night Football, Amazon Prime for Thursday Night Football, ESPN+ or a vMVPD for Monday Night Football, and YouTube Sunday Ticket for out-of-market games.
