Where to Watch the Europa League in the USA - 2024/25 Season
The UEFA Europa League might not carry the Champions League's heavyweight billing, but it delivers some of European football's most dramatic nights - packed stadiums, rotating rosters, and clubs with everything to prove. American audiences have grown to love the Thursday-night rhythms of the competition, especially now that MLS sides are pushing European clubs to compete for the same talent pool. With Sevilla's seven-title dynasty and Roma's emotional 2022 win still fresh in memory, the 2024/25 Europa League is unmissable for any serious soccer fan stateside.
Season 2024/25 - UEFA Europa League
Paramount+ Streaming - Live Europa League matches
Paramount+ holds US streaming rights for the Europa League and delivers every match in the new league-phase format. The platform's soccer coverage has expanded rapidly - you get top-tier commentary teams, in-depth pre-match analysis, and a clean interface across mobile, smart TV, and gaming consoles. The Essential tier keeps costs low if Champions League and Europa League are your primary reasons to subscribe.
CBS Sports Network TV - Selected matches & highlights
CBS Sports Network simulcasts selected Europa League fixtures and provides comprehensive highlight packages throughout the week. If you have a cable or satellite bundle, CBS Sports Network is often included, making it a zero-extra-cost complement to your Paramount+ subscription for the biggest Thursday nights.
Europa League broadcasting rights in the USA
Paramount+ and CBS collectively hold UEFA Europa League rights in the United States through the current broadcast cycle. The arrangement mirrors the Champions League setup: Paramount+ streams every live match while CBS Sports Network provides terrestrial simulcasts for marquee fixtures. The new 36-team league phase introduced in 2024/25 means significantly more matches across Thursday evenings from September through December, before the knockout rounds run from February to May.
Kick-off times in the US depend on your time zone: the standard 21:00 CET European start translates to 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT, making most matches accessible during afternoon hours for East Coast fans and a lunchtime watch on the West Coast. A minority of fixtures kick off at 18:45 CET (12:45 ET / 09:45 PT), ideal for early risers. Paramount+ is the most efficient single subscription for fans who want the full slate without channel-flipping.
Sevilla's record seven Europa League titles remain the benchmark of the competition's greatness, but the tournament has also produced immortal moments from clubs less accustomed to silverware - Dnipro's miraculous 2015 run, Marseille's 2018 final heartbreak, and José Mourinho's Roma lifting the inaugural Conference League in 2022 before returning to Europa proper. American soccer culture has embraced the Thursday rhythm, and the competition's accessible streaming price point makes it one of the best value propositions in US sports broadcasting.
