Although football has gone on pause for the latest round of international fixtures, that hiatus only applies to the men's game. As such, this means that fans who follow women's football will still have the opportunity to watch their favorite players featuring for various clubs across Europe over the next few weeks.
And there is some exciting news in store for fans this season. ata Football, a media company which is known for its efforts to help grow awareness of the women's game across the globe, will now be working hand in hand with American media conglomerate CBS Sports as of this season.
As per the terms of the contract between the two sides, CBS Sports Network will carry at least 15 matches from three different leagues: D1 Arkema, Serie A Femminile TIM and FLYERALARM Frauen-Bundesliga, more colloquially known as the top flights of women's football in France, Italy, and Germany respectively.
The coverage will kick off with a clash featuring Paris Saint-Germain Féminine and FC Fleury 91 on Sunday, September 25th, with a start time of 6:45 EST (03:45 PST/11:45 BST/12:45 CET). This, along with many more matches, will all be covered live on CBS Sports Network, while atafootball.com will provide delayed coverage.
CBS Sports Network already has experience being involved with women's football, as the network carries the Barclays Women's Super League on CBS Sports Network and Paramount+ as well as the USA's National Women's Soccer League on CBS Sports Network, CBS Television Network, and Paramount+. This new partnership now adds France's Division 1 Féminine, Italy's Serie A Femminile, and Germany's Frauen-Bundesliga to its range of leagues under its growing umbrella.
