CBS Sports will continue to be the home of Serie A in the United States, as the network has signed a two-year renewal of its media rights agreement with the Italian top flight.
Serie A and CBS signed their first deal in 2021, which expired at the end of the 2023-24 season.
With just a month until the 2024-25 campaign kicks off, the two parties have reached another agreement to extend their partnership for two more seasons.
“We are pleased to renew our partnership with Serie A,” said Dan Weinberg, executive vice president of programming for CBS Sports.
“CBS Sports has helped to elevate the popularity of Serie A in the U.S. over the last three years and the increased distribution will continue to grow the American fanbase.”
As part of the agreement, Paramount+ will show all 380 Serie A matches, at least 25 Coppa Italia matches and all Supercoppa Italiana matches for the upcoming season.
Select matches will also air on CBS, CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network.
The announcement came just one day after CBS Sports and the English Football League (EFL) announced an agreement that will see the network become the new home of the Championship, League One, League Two, Carabao Cup and Bristol Street Motors Trophy.
CBS Sports is already the home of the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and the NWSL, among other properties.
Securing the rights for Serie A was a key priority for CBS, as the league is home to some of American soccer’s biggest stars including Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, Tim Weah and Weston McKennie.
