The USL Championship and USL League One will feature throughout the 2025 season on CBS Sports, ESPN, TUDN and a wide range of local television networks, all of which will bring you the action from now until the USL Championship Final on the CBS Television Network in November.

As we go through the campaign, we’re here to provide a one-stop shop for finding out where every game from both leagues is available on national platforms and local networks.

Here’s our guide for Week 6 of the season, which features a Saturday night doubleheader on CBS Sports Golazo Network led off by one of the league’s historic rivalries. The Charleston Battery will face Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC in the first meeting for the Old Guard Shield this season, and the 32nd meeting between the clubs in the USL Championship era, at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The action then heads to the west coast where Phoenix Rising FC will attempt to build on its first win of the 2025 campaign last Sunday in the season premiere of the USL on CBS as Detroit City FC comes to visit at 10 p.m. ET, marking one of this week’s intriguing interconference matchups.

One of the league’s surprise stories to start the season will be in action on the CBS Sports Network, meanwhile, as El Paso Locomotive FC heads to face a Birmingham Legion FC side that is looking for its first win of the campaign. The sides will square off at 5 p.m. ET at Protective Stadium.

A busy week of action in USL League One, meanwhile, is highlighted by a rematch from last year’s postseason and this year’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday night as Greenville Triumph SC hosts One Knoxville SC at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+.

One Knox knocked Greenville out of the Open Cup last week, turning the tables from Triumph’s victory in the Quarterfinals of the 2024 League One Playoffs. With both clubs expected to be contenders this season, this sets up as a key early-season contest at Paladin Stadium.
