ViacomCBS is really serious about adding soccer to its platform — and now, it’s adding one more league to its already impressive collection of soccer broadcast and streaming rights.

In a year where Paramount+ has already added Italy's Serie A, Asian Football Confederation, and “The Women's Cup” to its platform, on Wednesday, ViacomCBS announced another addition — the Scottish Professional Football League.

CBS Sports will present at least 85 matches annually through 2024-2025, from the Cinch Premiership – the top division of the SPFL – as well as the second-division Cinch Championship and the Premier Sports Cup.

“This deal with CBS Sports will ensure that even more football fans across the world will have access to our competitions,” said Neil Doncaster, SPFL chief executive. “This is great news for Scottish football and a strong indication of the continuing appeal that our game holds on the global stage.
