Paris Saint-Germain Féminine vs. FC Fleury 91 Airs Sunday, Live on CBS Sports Network

 

Sept. 23, 2022 – CBS Sports and ata football, a women’s soccer company with a mission to build a global community and elevate the game, today announced details of an agreement for CBS Sports Network to televise English-language coverage of at least 15 matches during the 2022-23 season across three European women’s soccer leagues: D1 Arkema (France), Serie A Femminile TIM (Italy) and FLYERALARM Frauen-Bundesliga (Germany). Matches airing live will be televised exclusively on CBS Sports Network.

 

The first scheduled match of the agreement will air live on CBS Sports Network this Sunday, September 25, at 6:45 AM, ET, when Paris Saint-Germain Féminine takes on FC Fleury 91 in the D1 Arkema league.

 

Over the course of the season, matches will feature the top teams from each league, which collectively encompass 17 of the past 21 winners of the UEFA Women’s Champions League dating back to its inception in 2001.

 

European Women’s Soccer Airing on CBS Sports Network:

  • D1 Arkema (France): Defending league champions Olympique Lyon has claimed the title each year since 2007 aside from 2020-’21, when Paris Saint-Germain, one of the newest forces in European women’s soccer, won the league for the first time. CBS Sports Network will televise both regular season clashes between these two teams (December; May). U.S. Women’s National team stars Lindsey Horan (on loan) and Catarina Macario will be key to Lyon’s title defense this season.
  • Frauen-Bundesliga (Germany): Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg have traded league titles over the past 10 seasons, with Wolfsburg claiming seven to Bayern’s three. Both regular season matches will air on CBS Sports Network (October; March). Eintracht Frankfurt will be vying to improve upon its third-place finish in the league last season.
  • Serie A Femminile (Italy): Juventus will look to extend its streak of five consecutive league titles, while Roma hopes to knock Juventus from its perch after finishing runner-up last season.

 

Additional matches airing on CBS Sports Network and corresponding airtimes will be announced at a later date.

 

Through the agreement, CBS Sports adds to its extensive coverage of women's soccer globally, including the National Women’s Soccer League, which airs on the CBS Television Network, CBS Sports Network and Paramount+, the Barclays Women’s Super League on CBS Sports Network and Paramount+, and the addition of D1 Arkema (France), Serie A Femminile TIM (Italy), and FLYERALARM Frauen-Bundesliga (Germany) on CBS Sports Network.
