NEW YORK—Paramount+ and EverPass Media has signed a multi-year distribution agreement that allows EverPass customers to stream all of CBS Sports’ UEFA Champions League matches that stream on Paramount+, starting on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
EverPass Media aggregates, distributes and enables streaming of live sports and entertainment content to commercial venue like bars, restaurants and hotels. It was initially established as the exclusive distributor of NFL Sunday Ticket to commercial establishments in the United States and now offers a wide range of other content.
The Paramount/EverPass agreement offers a new distribution vehicle for CBS Sports’ UEFA Champions League matchups, which were previously unavailable for commercial venues in the United States.
As part of the deal, all of CBS Sports’ UEFA Champions League matches on Paramount+ will be available to stream via EverPass' platform.

This is another powerful step in redefining the way premium sports content reaches the commercial market, and we’re thrilled to partner with CBS Sports and Paramount+ to make it happen.”
