The USL Super League, a new Division One professional women’s soccer league launching in the U.S. this summer, has announced an exciting partnership with Peacock. Starting this season, Peacock will be the “Official Home of the USL Super League.” This multi-year agreement is part of an expanded partnership with NBCUniversal, which will also see other USL leagues and properties utilize NBC Sports Next’s SportsEngine Play streaming service and innovative digital products.
Stream Every Match on Peacock
Kicking off the weekend of August 17-18, fans in the United States can stream every regular season and playoff match—totaling 115 matches—on Peacock. This addition to Peacock’s impressive sports lineup complements its acclaimed soccer coverage, including the Premier League, FIFA World Cup, and Olympic soccer events.
Elevating Women’s Soccer
Amanda Vandervort, USL Super League President, expressed her enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to partner with NBCUniversal and Peacock to provide a world-class viewing experience for USL Super League fans across the country. NBC Sports and Peacock have set a high standard for soccer coverage in the U.S., and their commitment to the USL Super League underscores what we are building. This partnership affirms the Super League’s role in elevating women’s soccer, creating more opportunities for players, coaches, and fans. Our matches will be easily accessible for fans in one place, and we look forward to working with Peacock to build the Super League into a global leader both on and off the field.”

Sanctioned by U.S. Soccer to compete at the Division One level, the USL Super League’s inaugural season features eight clubs: Brooklyn FC, Carolina Ascent FC, Dallas Trinity FC, DC Power FC, Fort Lauderdale United FC, Lexington SC, Spokane Zephyr FC, and Tampa Bay Sun FC. The Fall Schedule includes 14 matches per club from August to December, followed by a winter break.
