How to watch USL League One in USA

CBS Sports is an official multi-platform media rights holder for USL League One in the United States, following a multi-year agreement signed in November 2023. The deal, which runs for four seasons from 2024 through 2027, secures CBS Sports the right to broadcast 100 USL matches annually across its various platforms, covering not only USL League One but also the USL Championship.

Under this rights deal, U.S. viewers can watch or stream live USL League One fixtures across CBS Sports' numerous platforms, including CBS Television Network, CBS Sports Network, and the Paramount+ streaming service. Additionally, select matches are broadcast live on CBS Sports Golazo Network, the 24/7 soccer streaming channel.

CBS Sports’ coverage of USL League One is not limited to live matches, however. The network also provides editorial coverage of the competition via CBSSports.com, the Golazo Starting XI newsletter, and across its @CBSSportsGolazo social media accounts.

Viewers can watch USL League One on CBS Sports through several avenues. The flagship CBS network is available over-the-air for free and through various pay-TV providers, including Xfinity, Spectrum, DirecTV, Dish Network, Cox, and Verizon Fios. However, availability on third-party TV providers is subject to change.

CBS Sports Network, on the other hand, is a pay-TV network available through major cable and satellite providers, including DirecTV, Spectrum, Dish Network, Cox, Optimum, Verizon Fios, and Xfinity, as well as streaming platforms such as Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, fuboTV, and DirecTV Stream.

Meanwhile, soccer fans in the U.S. can stream live USL League One games via the Paramount+ app or its official website, which are compatible with most internet-connected devices. This includes smartphones and tablets running Android or iOS, web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari, as well as gaming consoles like Xbox and PlayStation.

The platform is also supported on Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, Roku, Chromecast, Android TV, and smart TVs from brands like LG, Samsung, and Vizio. Select matches are also streamed for free on the CBS Sports Golazo Network via Pluto TV, Roku, and the CBS Sports app.

ESPN holds national broadcast rights in the USA for USL League One, the third-tier men’s professional soccer division in the United States. This deal is part of its long-standing partnership with the United Soccer League (USL), securing a three-year rights agreement that runs from the 2024 to the 2026 season to broadcast the competition on both its linear networks and streaming service.

As a result, U.S. fans can watch and stream over 400 games per season on ESPN, covering not only USL League One but also the USL Championship. ESPN’s linear and streaming television coverage includes regular-season and postseason matches, which it broadcasts nationally alongside CBS Sports.

Stateside viewers can watch USL League One on ESPN’s linear TV networks, primarily ESPN2, via third-party participating cable, satellite, IPTV, and streaming television providers. Some of the major U.S. television operators that have carried ESPN networks include Hulu + Live TV, DIRECTV, Fubo TV, Spectrum TV, and Verizon FiOS, although availability is subject to change.

To stream live USL League One games, fans in the United States must subscribe to ESPN Select and download the ESPN or Disney+ apps. It should be noted that on the Disney+ platform, the ESPN Select subscription may be bundled with Disney+ and other Disney-owned offerings.

Both platforms are available on a range of devices, including iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, Amazon Fire tablets, Roku, Xbox, PlayStation, Apple TV, Android TV, smart TVs, and more. Additionally, subscribers can stream USL League One on a PC or Mac via the ESPN or Disney+ websites.

In the United States, fans can watch live matches on MSG, available on both TV and streaming platforms. Coverage is confirmed for season 2026.
