Paramount+ continues to expand its offering to soccer fans by acquiring the rights to the inaugural Women’s Cup.

The action kicks off on Wednesday, August 18 at 5:00 PM, ET with FC Bayern facing PSG in a matchup between two of Europe’s top clubs that were both UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinalists. At 7:30 PM, ET, Louisville and Chicago will meet in a contest that will also count in the NWSL’s regular-season standings. The winners of each of those matches will face off in the title game at 6:00 PM, ET on Saturday, August 21, preceded by the third-place game at 3:00 PM, ET. All matches will be played at Lynn Family Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky.

“Paramount+ is committed to showcasing the world’s top clubs across both the men’s and women’s games, and these four clubs only further elevate the quality of our soccer programming,” said Jeffrey Gerttula, Executive Vice President and General Manager, CBS Sports Digital. “Paramount+ continues to be a year-round, must-have soccer destination for fans of the game and we’re excited for The Women’s Cup to be a part of our growing lineup at CBS Sports.”
