I already have ESPN+, but don't have Paramount and wasn't exactly looking to add another service.

I'll have to wait and see how much the FOMO pulls me in.

I use paramount plus probably more than any other service i have. Really like the live channels and they have some good original stuff and movies.

Guess I’ll have to get Paramount + again. It’s about time someone over here picked this up.

So, are they going to show more than ESPN or about the same?

I think it’s going to be more. ESPN just piggy backed off the Sky coverage last year and this year Sky has an expanded deal, so the assumption is CBS will be picking up those same games.

I know as part of the Sky deal at least for the championship they are capping the number of times a team can have fixtures moved for the broadcast.

Disappointing the Isthmian North Division isn't getting picked up, but EFL's a start

Will FA cup still be on the Worldwide leader in sports - paid streaming edition?

I broke down and subscribed. Had a Scottish second tier game on in the background while I worked today.

CBS/Paramount+ have done a really good job ever since they made the soccer-focused pivot. Not only did they dish out the money for big stuff like CHampions League, Europa League/Conference and Serie A, but they've also gone out of their way to get contracts with some periphery leagues as well, like the USL and now EFL. Not to mention they have a 24/7 free channel stream that's dedicated to the sport in the Golazo Network.

Morning Footy is my go to show to have on in the mornings when I'm working from home. Definitely good stuff.

Checking the Paramount app for this weekend and it looks like they will have both of the Friday Championship games, 5 of the 8 in the early slot Saturday, MK Dons v Bradford from League 2, then Birmingham v Reading and Wrexham v Wycombe in League 1.
