Following ESPN's acquisition of La Liga rights in 2021, Disney-owned network ABC has expanded its sports broadcasting portfolio in USA by featuring select high-profile matches from Spain's top soccer league. ABC’s LaLiga coverage may include the renowned El Clásico matchups between Barcelona and Real Madrid, among other significant games.
ABC is broadcasting the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) 2024, following a major TV deal involving ESPN. Fans in the U.S. can watch four matches from the NWSL 2024 on ABC, including the season opener and three playoff games. The matches on ABC are also available for streaming on OTT subscription platform ESPN+.
ABC will join ESPN in the full coverage of the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament, as both networks partner together to televise all 51 matches. With ESPN picking 46 matches in total, ABC will broadcast the remaining five. These consist of two group stage matches, two games from the Round of 16 and a Quarterfinal encounter—all in high definition. Marking its return to coverage of the UEFA European Championship competition since it last did so in 2008, ABC will stream its five Euro 2020 matches live on its website and mobile apps for Android and iOS.
