The NWSL matchup between San Diego Wave FC and the North Carolina Courage will be historic for a number of reasons. Primarily, it will mark the final match of American soccer legend Alex Morgan, and because of that, it will air across all of the NWSL’s broadcast partners on Sunday, Sept. 8 at 8 p.m. ET. The game will air on both CBS Sports Network and ESPN2, which means that it be available on live TV streaming services like Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM, and YouTube TV (our recommendation would be Hulu + Live TV out of these options). It will also stream on multiple platforms: ESPN+, NWSL+, Paramount+, and Prime Video. Prime Video is our top overall recommendation because it provides a 30-day free trial.

About Alex Morgan’s Farewell Game
Alex Morgan has played in the NWSL since the league’s inception in 2013. In her 12 seasons, Morgan has 60 career goals across stints with the San Diego Wave, Orlando Pride, and Portland Thorns. She was the 2022 NWSL Golden Boot winner with 15 goals and led Portland to the first-ever NWSL Championship in 2013.
Originally, the game was slated to only air on NWSL+ and Paramount+, but when it became clear that the match would be the end of an era, the league knew that it wanted to make the game available to a wider audience. The decision to feature Morgan’s final game across broadcast partners marks the first time a women’s sporting event will be shown across multiple outlets simultaneously in the U.S. The Sunday evening game was initially slated to air on NWSL+ and Paramount+.
On the international stage, Morgan is a two-time World Cup Champion (2015, 2019) and an Olympic gold medalist, having competed for the U.S. senior national team since 2010.
“Alex Morgan has had an immeasurable impact on both the NWSL and the global soccer community - and she has inspired generations of players and fans around the world,” NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman said. “We are so grateful to CBS Sports for helping to elevate the league and for always being amazing partners and recognizing the pivotal moment to allow for this unprecedented broadcast to happen, as well as to Prime Video and ESPN for their partnership in celebrating a true sports legend. Our partners coming together to celebrate Alex is an event that speaks volumes about the power of sports and female athletes to unite fans everywhere. Alex couldn’t be more deserving of this moment.”
