NEW YORK — U.S. Soccer and Nasdaq-traded audio content creation and distribution company Cumulus Media’s Westwood One division have reached an agreement that makes Westwood One Sports the new domestic English-language audio partner of U.S. Soccer.
The exclusive partnership through 2030 gives Westwood One Sports broadcast rights to all U.S. Soccer Federation-hosted matches, including all USWNT and USMNT friendlies, Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinal matches, and the SheBelieves Cup. The first broadcast will be the SheBelieves Cup game featuring the USWNT vs. Colombia, scheduled for February 20 at 8pm Eastern.
“The addition of U.S. Soccer to our Westwood One Sports platform is an exciting milestone for us,” said Collin Jones, President of Westwood One and EVP of Corporate Strategy and Development at Cumulus Media. “This partnership not only provides fans with unparalleled access to the action on the pitch but also creates valuable opportunities for our advertisers to connect with a passionate and engaged audience. We look forward to amplifying the excitement of U.S. Soccer across our network for many years to come.”
As part of the partnership, U.S. Soccer will be launching a new podcast series, featuring interviews from across the American soccer landscape and how U.S. Soccer is growing.
Westwood One Sports joins Warner Bros. Discovery, NBCUniversal Telemundo and the Andres Cantor-founded Fútbol de Primera Radio as U.S. Soccer’s domestic media rightsholders.
