CBS Sports today launched a new ‘Champions League’ free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel on Pluto TV. The 24-hour channel offers soccer fans year-round access to a variety of Champions League related content, including highlights of memorable moments and dramatic finishes.
The launch of the channel comes at an interesting time, considering the current Champions League tournament is well underway and has already reached the semi finals stage. Next week will see Bayern take on Real Madrid and Dortmund take on PSG in the first of two semi-final legs.
While the new FAST channel won’t provide access to these live matches, it promises to offer access to “the brilliant goals, legendary players, unforgettable matches and more from this season.” This is in addition to similar highlights from past tournaments.
“UEFA Champions League represents the absolute best soccer in the world, and this new channel delivers fans an always-on venue to relive the special moments, sensational goals, iconic players and storied clubs that define this one-of-a-kind tournament,” said Jeffrey Gerttula, executive vice president, digital, of CBS Sports, News, Stations and Entertainment. “CBS Sports is the 24/7 home for soccer fans in this country, and we’re excited for this latest addition to our industry-leading multiplatform soccer coverage.”
In addition to watching through Pluto TV, the new Champions League channel can also be accessed for free directly through the CBS Sports app on supported smart TVs. Support for other platforms and services is expected to become available as soon as next month, including for users of the CBS Sports mobile app.
For those interested in watching the semi-finals (and the final) of this year’s tournament, all Champions League games are available to stream live or on-demand with a Paramount+ subscription.
