Turner Sports will show the United States soccer team.
Turner Sports and the U.S. Soccer Federation have an eight-year rights agreement. The agreement will make the English-language home for more than 20 annual women's and men's national team matches.
The U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone said they were thrilled to be partnering with Turner Sports. As we build towards 2026 and beyond, we have found a fantastic partner to spotlight the stories of our Women's and Men's National Teams.
More than 20 games per year will be live-streamed on HBO Max, and approximately half of them will feature television coverage. Digital highlights and coverage will be provided by Bleacher Report.
The United States men's team is preparing for the World Cup in Qatar.
Through 11 games in the final qualification stage, the Americans are four points behind first-place Canada. They have the same number of points as Mexico but are ahead on goal differential and are four points ahead of fourth-place Panama.
The top three seeds will advance to the World Cup. The fourth-place team will face the fifth-place team in an intercontinental playoff in June.
While the men's team is fighting for position in the World Cup, the women's team is an international powerhouse.
The Americans won back-to-back World Cup in 2015 and 2019, and just agreed to settle their equal pay lawsuit with U.S. Soccer. Equal pay for the men's and women's teams will be in the future, pending a new collective bargaining agreement.
The women will get $22 million in back pay and $2 million more for their charitable activities.
