The USL Championship and USL League One will be available on more platforms than ever before in the 2024 season with national broadcast agreements with CBS Sports and ESPN and a wide range of local television agreements.

Each week, this guide is your one-stop-shop for finding out where every game from both leagues is available on national platforms and local networks.

Here’s our guide for the next seven days which kicks off Wednesday night as Birmingham Legion FC plays host to Rhode Island FC on CBS Sports Network at 8 p.m. ET in RIFC Head Coach Khano Smith’s return to Protective Stadium for the first since being an assistant for Legion last year.

The action continues with a Friday-night doubleheader that kicks off with an interconference clash between Louisville City FC and Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC at 8 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Golazo Network before we head west for a meeting between defending Championship title-holder Phoenix Rising FC and El Paso Locomotive FC on CBS Sports Network at 11 p.m. ET.

Two teams fighting for playoff position square off to kick off another doubleheader on Saturday night on ESPN2 as Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC hosts Hartford Athletic at 8 p.m. ET before two recent Championship title winners square off on CBS Sports Golazo Network at 10 p.m. ET as Orange County SC plays host to San Antonio FC at Championship Soccer Stadium.

The weekend then wraps up on Sunday afternoon with the Championship’s second game this season on the CBS Television Network. Oakland Roots SC and Sacramento Republic FC currently sit in the top three in the Western Conference and after Roots’ victory at Heart Health Park earlier this season, Republic FC will be aiming to turn the tables as one of the biggest rivalries in the league renews at 4 p.m. ET.
