OneSoccer wins cable access for Canadian soccer rights
OneSoccer has reportedly won a long-running dispute with Rogers, potentially allowing Canadian soccer properties to be broadcast on cable television. This development could bring the Canadian Premier League, men's and women's national teams, and the Canadian Championship to a wider audience through traditional TV distribution.
Key Takeaways
- The dispute was with Rogers, and OneSoccer is the winner.
- Canadian Premier League matches could move onto cable television.
- Men's and women's national team coverage is included in the properties mentioned.
- The Canadian Championship is also listed among the rights that could reach cable TV.
Why It Matters
This gives OneSoccer a new distribution path beyond streaming for a defined set of Canadian soccer properties. The immediate effect is broader cable-TV access for the Canadian Premier League, national teams, and the Canadian Championship. More broadly, it shows that sports rights disputes can still determine where live events land in a fragmented video market, even when the underlying properties already have a streaming home. What to watch next: whether Rogers actually carries these properties on cable and which specific matches or competitions appear first.
