Serie A renews media rights deal with CBS through 2026-27
Summary

Serie A announced an extension of its media rights agreement with CBS, ensuring that English-language broadcasts will continue on CBS platforms, mainly Paramount+. The extension covers all top-flight matches, a minimum of 20 Coppa Italia games, and every Supercoppa Italiana match, totaling 420 broadcasts for next season. This renewal follows a previous agreement in 2024 and is valued in the low eight figures annually, a notable reduction from the $75 million per year deal signed in 2021. After the 2026-27 season, Serie A plans to re-evaluate its media rights in the U.S. market amid rising interest due to American players competing in the league. Currently, European soccer's presence in the U.S. faces challenges as other leagues struggle to secure strong broadcast partnerships.
