CBS announced that its official streaming platform CBS All Access will show the reminder UEFA Women's Champions League that kicks off on Friday, first reported by Jonathan Tannenwald.
Much like the men's tournament, this edition of the women's Champions League will take place in a neutral site, Spain's Basque region. The two venues are San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, home of Athletic Club, and Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian, home of Real Sociedad.
On Friday at noon ET, German giants Vfl Wolfsburg take on Scottish champions Glasgow City in San Sebastian, while Spanish greats Atletico Madrid and Barcelona meet in Bilbao.
It will be hard to choose a game to watch on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET when reigning champions Lyon take on FC Bayern in San Sebastian and Arsenal play Paris Saint-Germain.
Semifinals are scheduled to be played on Tuesday, Aug. 25, through Wednesday, Aug. 26, both at 2 p.m. ET in San Sebastian. And the final will take place in Bilbao on Aug. 30 at 2 p.m. ET.

CBS All Access will not be the only outlet where U.S. fans can head over to watch the women's Champions League. If you are not subscribed to CBS All Access, then head over to UEFA.tv to watch it for free. Also, women's Champions League broadcast rights for all games except the final are held by each club, meaning that some teams will broadcast their games through their own platforms. For example, Wolfsburg will be streaming their games on their YouTube page in German.
The deal with CBS will run its course by the end of the tournament, but UEFA plan to make changes to the TV coverage and the way rights will be sold for the 2021 season.
