Canada’s soccer media landscape is expanding its global footprint.
Canadian Soccer Media & Entertainment (CSME) has secured a multi-year deal to broadcast the UEFA Women’s Champions League in Canada through its streaming platform OneSoccer.
Deal Expands Global Reach
The agreement, signed with UC3, will bring coverage of Europe’s top women’s club competition to Canadian audiences.
Broadcasts began at the quarter-final stage of the 2025–26 season.
Strategy Centers Canadian Talent
CSME CEO James Johnson emphasized a unified ecosystem strategy.
The goal: combine domestic and international football while elevating Canadian players on a global stage.
Canadian Stars Rise Abroad
Canadian internationals are increasingly present across Europe’s elite clubs.
Olivia Smith made history with a £1 million move from Liverpool FC Women to Arsenal Women, while others feature at Chelsea FC Women, FC Bayern Munich Women, Manchester United Women and Olympique Lyonnais Féminin.
UEFA Targets New Markets
UC3 sees the deal as part of a broader international growth strategy.
Expanding beyond traditional European markets remains central to UEFA’s women’s football ambitions.
OneSoccer Strengthens Portfolio
The addition further reinforces OneSoccer’s content lineup.
Its portfolio already includes Canadian national team matches, the Canadian Premier League, Concacaf competitions, the Bundesliga, and the NWSL.
