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 8 of the season, which features a pair of key Western Conference games on CBS networks on Wednesday night in the USL Championship before the opening round of the group stage in the 2025 USL Jägermeister Cup throughout the weekend.

The national spotlight heads back to Texas on Wednesday as San Antonio FC plays host to defending USL Championship title-holder Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC at Toyota Field on the CBS Sports Network with kickoff scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. On the CBS Sports Golazo Network, meanwhile, there’s a clash for the top spot in the West as third-place New Mexico United welcomes first-place Monterey Bay FC to Isotopes Park at 9 p.m. ET.

Action then shifts to ESPN+ for the USL Jägermeister Cup throughout the weekend, kicking off on Friday night with the latest edition of the Dogwood Derby between North Carolina FC and the Charlotte Independence at First Horizon Stadium.

A full slate of action continues on Saturday including a battle between Florida rivals the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Miami FC at Al Lang Stadium at 7:30 p.m. ET and some intriguing interdivision matchups including Hartford Athletic hosting Portland Hearts of Pine (4 p.m. ET), FC Naples hosting the Charleston Battery (7 p.m. ET), and New Mexico United hosting Union Omaha (9 p.m. ET) as part of the night’s 14-game slate.

Sunday wraps up with a tripleheader as Westchester SC hosts its inaugural home game at Memorial Field against Rhode Island FC (2 p.m. ET) before Birmingham Legion FC faces Chattanooga Red Wolves SC (5 p.m. ET) and Spokane Velocity FC hosts Oakland Roots SC (7 p.m. ET).
