CBS Sports Secures Deal for Scottish Professional Football League

CBS Sports and Infront have confirmed a multiyear agreement for CBS Sports and Paramount+ to become the exclusive U.S. home of the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL).

CBS Sports will present at least 85 matches annually through 2024–25 from the cinch Premiership—the top division of the SPFL—as well as the second-division cinch Championship and the Premier Sports Cup. Coverage begins on Saturday, July 31, with select matches throughout the deal streaming exclusively on Paramount+, ViacomCBS’ subscription streaming service and others airing exclusively on CBS Sports Network.

As part of the multiplatform deal, CBS Sports will feature every Old Firm match between Rangers and Celtic, as well as a weekly program with highlights from across the league.

Dan Weinberg, executive VP of programming for CBS Sports, said: “We are looking forward to presenting the action from the Scottish Professional Football League, highlighted by the iconic Old Firm rivalry. The SPFL is an elite soccer league and a key addition in our growing portfolio of global soccer rights, and we are excited to capitalize on our digital and cable platforms to bring these matches to fans across Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network.”

Neil Doncaster, SPFL chief executive, said: “This deal with CBS Sports will ensure that even more football fans across the world will have access to our competitions. This is great news for Scottish football and a strong indication of the continuing appeal that our game holds on the global stage.”
