The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and A+E Networks have announced they have entered into a partnership. A+E Networks has become the leagues newest investor, joining the team ownership groups with an equity stake in the NWSL.
A+E Networks Lifetime channel will become an official sponsor and broadcast partner of the league. The three year deal begins in April and a joint venture will create NWSL Media.
"This is a transformational partnership in the evolution of the league, and we are so appreciative of Nancy Dubuc and her team at A+E Networks as they take a leadership position in the growth of our league and create opportunities for young women," NWSL Commissioner Jeff Plush said via the press release.
