CBS Sports today announced the details of an agreement for Paramount+, ViacomCBS’ subscription streaming service, to serve as the exclusive English-language home in the US of qualifying matches for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 for the CONCACAF region of North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The deal includes six away matches for both the United States and Mexico men’s national teams as well as the media rights to all other matches played in the region. Up to 79 matches will stream live on Paramount+ and CBS Sports has the ability to air select matches on linear platforms.
The first of three rounds of qualifying matches kick off this evening (Wednesday) involving teams ranked 6-35 based on FIFA rankings. Tonight’s matches on Paramount+ feature Dominican Republic vs. Dominica at 7:05 PM, ET and Guatemala vs. Cuba at 8:05 PM, ET. The top five ranked CONCACAF teams – Mexico, the United States, Costa Rica, Jamaica and Honduras – join the action in the Third round.
but that seals it.
On Nichol, I don't often watch the ESPN FC daily as it seems to be mostly EPL, but I'd almost feel cheated if there weren't a curmudgeonly British type for the younger guys to play off. He's like an across-the-pond Mike Milbury.
Doesn't turn into a sourpuss when someone gives him some shit.
And I agree regarding the coverage (like Gab and the others). They're very good. Just wish Gab wasn't so anti-German. Hates those Germans.
We did the one month trial and found it severely lacking. Freezing, bad UI/UX.
can't even play anything. Have to watch via computer.
I use the web version while I'm watching during my workday, no issues there either.
Tried casting form wife's phone and mine via chromecast, glitchy, crashed out.
We cancelled immediately.
That's weird. I don't think I've ever had that happen.
With NBCSN going by the wayside, I've just assumed the PL will fall to either ESPN or CBS. La Liga is trying to dump BeIN before the contract expires in 2024.
If it shakes out that everything is either on ESPN+ or CBS, I'm happier with that than a split of NBC(SN)(Peacock) + ESPN + FOX + CBS + BeIN.
CBS has done a pretty good job with the CL and Europa leagues. I'm good if they get the PL.
