The six-year deal, valued at around $1.5 billion, includes the soon to be enlarged and re-formatted Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference and begins from the 2024/2025 season.

Games will be shown across both the CBS sports channels and streamed across the Paramount+ direct-to-consumer service.

Commenting on the deal, CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said: “UEFA has been a key driver for Paramount+ since our launch and we are thrilled to extend this successful partnership showcasing even more world-class soccer through the 2029-30 season, building on the incredible momentum we have created the past two years. UEFA is a perfect example of our differentiated strategy presenting marquee properties to drive and strengthen both our streaming and traditional linear businesses.”
