The short answer: in the USA, each league lives on a different service — the Premier League on Peacock ($10.99/mo), the Champions League and Serie A on Paramount+ (from $8.99/mo), La Liga on ESPN+ ($11.99/mo), MLS on Apple TV ($12.99/mo), Ligue 1 on beIN Sports, and — new for 2026/27 — the Bundesliga free on Fandango with marquee games on USA Network. No single subscription covers everything.
Here's the full map for the 2026/27 season: every league, its rights-holder, what it costs, and where the genuinely free options are.
Every league and its US streaming service (2026/27)
| League | Where it streams | Marquee TV games | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premier League | Peacock (~175 exclusive) | NBC, USA Network | $10.99/mo |
| Champions League | Paramount+ (every match) | CBS | $8.99/mo |
| La Liga | ESPN+ (every match) | ESPN, ABC | $11.99/mo |
| Serie A | Paramount+ (every match) | CBS, CBS Sports Network | $8.99/mo |
| Bundesliga | Fandango (free) | USA Network (30+ games) | Free |
| Ligue 1 | beIN Sports (via Fanatiz, Fubo, Sling) | beIN Sports | ~$8/mo |
| MLS | Apple TV (every match, no blackouts) | FOX, FS1 (select) | $12.99/mo |
Below is what each of those actually means for your club, with a link to the full guide for each league.
Premier League — Peacock, NBC and USA Network
NBCUniversal holds exclusive US rights through the 2027/28 season. Around 175 games a season stream exclusively on Peacock ($10.99/mo), the biggest matches air on NBC (free over the air), and midweek/extra games run on USA Network — which since the Versant spin-off needs a TV or live-TV-streaming login, as those games no longer stream on Peacock. Full breakdown: How to watch the Premier League in the USA and our complete Premier League on Peacock guide.
Champions League & Europa League — Paramount+
CBS Sports holds US English-language rights to all three UEFA club competitions through 2029/30. Every Champions League, Europa League and Conference League match streams on Paramount+ (from $8.99/mo), with select games — including the final — on CBS. See what channel the Champions League is on.
La Liga — ESPN+
ESPN streams every La Liga match on ESPN+ in English and Spanish through the 2028/29 season, with marquee games on ESPN and occasionally ABC. Full guide: Where to watch La Liga in the USA.
Serie A — Paramount+ and CBS
Paramount+ streams all 380 Serie A matches (plus Coppa Italia), with select games on CBS and free matches on the CBS Sports Golazo Network. CBS extended its deal through the 2026/27 season in June 2026. Full guide: How to watch Serie A in the US.
Bundesliga — free on Fandango, marquee games on USA Network
The biggest change of 2026/27: after six years on ESPN+, the Bundesliga moved to Versant's USA Sports. USA Network airs 30+ marquee matches and every other game streams free on Fandango — the best free deal in US soccer. Spanish-language coverage runs on Telemundo/Universo with all matches on Peacock. Full guide: How to watch the Bundesliga in the USA.
Ligue 1 — beIN Sports (and free on Tubi)
beIN Sports holds US rights through 2028/29. The cheapest route is a Fanatiz subscription; Fubo and Sling's World Sports package also carry beIN, and Tubi streams selected Ligue 1 matches free. Full guide: How to watch Ligue 1 in the USA.
MLS — every match on Apple TV
MLS Season Pass is gone. From 2026, every MLS match is included with a standard Apple TV subscription ($12.99/mo) — no blackouts, plus select games on FOX and FS1. Full guide: How to watch MLS in 2026.
Cup competitions, Liga MX and England's second tier
Beyond the big leagues, four more competitions have clean US homes: the FA Cup on ESPN+ (79 matches from November to the Wembley final), the Carabao Cup on Paramount+ (30+ matches, final on CBS Sports Network), the EFL Championship on Paramount+ (155+ matches plus every playoff game), and Liga MX — split club-by-club across TUDN/Univision, ViX, Telemundo/Peacock and FOX, with plenty free over the air.

- Premier League + European nights: Peacock ($10.99) + Paramount+ ($8.99) ≈ $20/mo covers the PL, UCL, UEL and Serie A.

Can you watch soccer for free in the USA?
Yes — legally, and better than ever in 2026/27:
- Fandango — every Bundesliga match not on USA Network, free (new this season)
- NBC — marquee Premier League games, free over the air with an antenna
- CBS Sports Golazo Network — free 24/7 soccer channel with select live games (CBS Sports app, Pluto TV, Paramount+)
- Tubi — selected Ligue 1 matches plus the beIN Sports Xtra channel
- Telemundo / Universo — Spanish-language Premier League and Bundesliga coverage
- Free trials — Apple TV (7 days, covers MLS) and Fubo (7 days, covers beIN and USA Network)
Skip illegal streams: with this much free, legal coverage, they're unreliable and unnecessary.
