Soccer never really clocks out, and neither does CBS Sports Golazo Network. The digital channel runs 24/7 with select live matches, replays, highlights, news, and studio analysis from across the men’s and women’s games.
Golazo Network differs from CBS Sports Network in that it isn’t a traditional cable channel. You can watch it for free through several websites and apps without entering TV-provider credentials.
But Golazo Network isn’t a free pass to every match in CBS Sports’ soccer portfolio. CBS, CBS Sports Network, and Paramount+ still show games that don’t appear on Golazo Network, so check our soccer TV guide when you’re chasing a particular competition or matchup.
Where can I watch CBS Sports Golazo Network?

What soccer is on CBS Sports Golazo Network?
Golazo Network draws from CBS Sports’ international and domestic soccer portfolio. Its schedule can include select live matches alongside replays, highlights, news, and analysis.
The key word is “select.” A competition’s appearance on Golazo Network doesn’t mean every match from that tournament or league will stream for free.
| Soccer coverage | Examples |
|---|---|
| UEFA club competitions | Select Champions League, Women"s Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League matches and coverage |
| European leagues and cups | Select Serie A, EFL, Women"s Super League, Scottish football, and domestic cup matches |
| North American soccer | Select NWSL, USL, Liga MX, and Concacaf coverage |
CBS distributes its soccer coverage across Golazo Network, Paramount+, CBS Sports Network, and other platforms depending on the competition and matchup. For the complete English-language viewing picture, see our UEFA Champions League guide or check CBS Sports’ live schedule on CBSSports.com.

Golazo Network vs. CBS Sports Network and Paramount+
The three CBS platforms overlap, but they aren’t interchangeable. Golazo Network is the free soccer channel, CBS Sports Network is a traditional pay-TV network, and Paramount+ is CBS’s broader paid streaming service.
| Key detail | Golazo Network | CBS Sports Network | Paramount+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Free 24/7 soccer streaming channel | Linear pay-TV sports channel | Subscription streaming service |
| Cost | Free | Qualifying TV plan required | Paid subscription |
| What you get | Free soccer matches, highlights, and studio shows | College sports and other live events | Broader access to CBS"s streaming soccer rights |
| Soccer coverage | Select matches, replays, highlights, and analysis | Matches assigned to CBSSN | Larger selection of CBS soccer streams |
| Channel number | None | Varies by provider | None |
Golazo Network vs. CBS Sports Network
CBS Sports Network is a linear channel available through participating cable, satellite, and live TV streaming providers. Its schedule includes college football and basketball, soccer, golf, motorsports, professional bull riding, and other live events, along with studio shows and replays. You’ll need a qualifying cable, satellite, or live TV streaming package to watch it.
Golazo Network is much more specialized. It’s digital-only, soccer-focused, and free, which means it has no cable or satellite channel number.
Golazo Network vs. Paramount+
Paramount+ carries Golazo Network, but the two services aren’t the same. Golazo Network is one curated, always-on channel. Paramount+ has a wider collection of individual live matches, replays, and other CBS programming.
You don’t need Paramount+ to watch Golazo. But depending on the competition, you may need it for matches that CBS doesn’t select for the free channel. Our Paramount+ sports guide explains the service’s broader sports lineup.
What devices support CBS Sports Golazo Network?
Because Golazo Network is distributed through several different streaming platforms, there isn’t one universal device list. Your options depend on which free service you use.
- Computers: Stream through CBSSports.com or compatible Pluto TV and Roku Channel websites.
- Phones and tablets: Use supported CBS Sports or Pluto TV apps.
- Streaming devices and smart TVs: Look for compatible CBS Sports, Pluto TV, or Roku Channel apps.
On Roku devices, The Roku Channel provides a direct free option. Amazon Fire TV users can look for compatible services such as the CBS Sports or Pluto TV apps.
App support can vary by device model and operating-system version. If one platform isn’t available in your device’s app store, try another free provider.
