Across the Americas, one parcel will be available to every country outside of the US, which will have separate packages for English-language and Spanish-language rights.

Two Circles has managed the UWCL’s sponsorship rights since 2018 when UEFA separated its women’s soccer commercial program from its men’s, however, this is the first time it has managed the media rights for the competition.

The UWCL will change formats for the 2025-26 campaign, moving to a league phase with 18 sides, followed by a playoff round, increasing the number of games on offer.

International subscription streaming service DAZN is the primary global broadcaster for the UWCL at the moment, in a deal running through the current 2024-25 campaign.

During 2023-24, the platform made most of the competition’s group stages available for free, while the 2022-23 final was also shown free-to-air across multiple European territories through a sub-licensing deal with the European Broadcasting Union.
