The National Women’s Soccer League has announced a deal with ESPN to televise 14 matches through the remainder of the 2019 season.
The league had been without a television deal for the first half of the campaign after it cancelled the final year of a three-season agreement with A&E Networks ahead of the 2019 season.
But the league has now taken a step to remedy that with the half-season deal, as it looks to build on the popularity of the World Cup, which has scored high television ratings all over the globe.
