00:00 National Women's Soccer League just scored a $240 million broadcast deal with four major streaming and cable partners.
00:06 The deal is 40 times larger than the previous one and will pay the NWSL about $60 million a year for four years.
00:13 Games will be broadcasted across CBS, ESPN, Amazon and Scripps.
00:17 The league opted to spread out its game broadcast across several different partners, which is unlike major league soccer.
00:22 MLS signed a 10-year, $250 million exclusive deal with Apple.
00:26 All four broadcast partners have also committed to promote NWSL.
00:30 But only 60% of games will be aired on these channels, and about 38% of games will be streamed on NWSL's own platform.
00:36 And in other news, the league is set to add two new teams for next season, one in the Bay Area and another based in Utah.
