The Europa League in the US — one English home, a multi-year deal
The UEFA Europa League — Europe's second-tier club competition, the Thursday-night companion to the Champions League — has a steady US following, both among fans of the European clubs that drop into it and among neutrals who enjoy a competition that often produces the most open knockout football of the season. So "where do I watch the Europa League in the US" is a recurring question, and the answer is pleasingly clear: in English, it is Paramount+, which carries every match.
This is an evergreen arrangement, not a one-season quirk. CBS holds the US rights to the Europa League on a multi-year deal running through 2030, so while the 2025-26 edition concludes with its final at the end of the season, the broadcast picture described here carries forward season after season. In English: Paramount+ streams every match, with CBS Sports Network and the CBS Sports Golazo network showing a selection of league-phase fixtures on linear TV. In Spanish: TUDN and ViX (TelevisaUnivision) carry the coverage, and DAZN carries matches in Spanish as well. So the US Europa League viewer has a clear English home in Paramount+ and Spanish-language alternatives alongside it — an arrangement good for years, not just this season.
Paramount+: every match in English
Paramount+ — the streaming service from Paramount Global — is the English-language home of the Europa League in the US, and its defining feature is completeness: it carries every match of the competition. For an English-speaking US fan, that is the headline — there is no need to track which match is on which channel, because the whole competition lives on one streaming service. Every league-phase match, every knockout leg, and the final are all on Paramount+.
Paramount+ also carries the rest of UEFA's club competitions in English — the Champions League and the Conference League — so a fan who follows European football broadly gets all of it on the one service. The CBS Sports studio product around the coverage, built around its well-regarded football panel, is among the best on US television. Paramount+ streams across the usual range of devices: smart TVs, streaming sticks, mobile, consoles and the web. Check current Paramount+ US pricing at sign-up. For the complete English-language Europa League — every match, season after season under the deal through 2030 — Paramount+ is the route.
CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo: select league-phase matches on TV
Alongside the complete Paramount+ streaming coverage, CBS puts a selection of Europa League matches on linear television. CBS Sports Network — the cable channel — carries select league-phase fixtures, and the CBS Sports Golazo Network, CBS's free football-focused channel, also carries a selection of matches. For a US fan who prefers watching on a TV channel, or who wants to catch a marquee league-phase match without opening the streaming app, these are the linear routes.
These channels carry a selection rather than the full slate — the comprehensive every-match coverage is on Paramount+ — so they complement the streaming service rather than replacing it. CBS Sports Golazo is notable for being a free, ad-supported channel available on various streaming platforms, which makes it a no-cost way to catch the matches it does carry. Check how CBS Sports Network is carried in your TV or streaming package, and where CBS Sports Golazo is available, at sign-up. For select Europa League matches on a TV channel, these are the CBS linear routes; for every match, Paramount+ is the home.
The Spanish-language routes: TUDN/ViX and DAZN
For Spanish-speaking US fans, the Europa League is available outside the English-language Paramount+ route. TelevisaUnivision carries the competition in Spanish through TUDN, its Spanish-language sports network, with ViX as the streaming home — so a Spanish-speaking household can follow the Europa League through the same TUDN/ViX ecosystem it uses for other football. DAZN also carries Europa League matches in Spanish for the US market.
This gives the Spanish-language US viewer a real choice: TUDN and ViX for the TelevisaUnivision coverage, and DAZN as a further Spanish-language route. Check current pricing for ViX and DAZN at sign-up. The Spanish-language coverage runs alongside the English-language Paramount+ home rather than competing with it — a fan picks the language they want. For the Europa League in Spanish in the US, TUDN/ViX and DAZN are the routes.
Is the Europa League free to watch in the US?
Partly. The CBS Sports Golazo Network — CBS's free, ad-supported football channel, available on various streaming platforms — carries a selection of Europa League matches at no cost, which is a genuinely free route to the matches it shows. For a US fan who wants to watch some Europa League without paying, Golazo is the free way in for its selected fixtures.
Beyond that selection, the comprehensive coverage is paid: every match in English is on Paramount+ (a paid streaming service), select matches are on CBS Sports Network (a paid cable channel), and the Spanish-language coverage on ViX and DAZN is paid too. So the honest picture is a free slice (the Golazo selection) within a mostly paid competition — to watch every match you need Paramount+.
Free highlights and clips also sit on the Europa League's and UEFA's official channels. For the complete competition, Paramount+ is the English-language home; for some matches at no cost, CBS Sports Golazo is the free route. Check current pricing at sign-up for the paid services.
US kick-off times and the Thursday-night rhythm
The Europa League plays primarily on Thursdays, with European evening kick-offs that land in the US afternoon. The two standard slots — roughly 6:45 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Central European Time — air at about 12:45 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. US Eastern Time (and earlier further west), making the Europa League a daytime watch on the US East Coast. That afternoon rhythm is part of the competition's US appeal: midweek European football during the American working day.
The knockout rounds in the back half of the season bring the marquee fixtures, as the bigger clubs that drop out of the Champions League join the competition. Those are exactly the matches CBS tends to feature on its linear channels, while Paramount+ carries every one. Check Matchcast for the exact US kick-off time of every Europa League fixture, with the broadcaster listing on each match page so you can see whether a given match is on Paramount+, the CBS linear channels, or the Spanish-language routes.
