Victory+ loses NWSL rights amid ongoing financial troubles

The National Women's Soccer League has become the latest rightsholder to walk away from Victory+, continuing a difficult stretch for the free streaming service amid ongoing financial problems.

Beginning Sunday, Aug. 2, all NWSL matches scheduled to air on Victory+ will instead air for free on NWSL+. The agreement came to a halt after the streamer missed a rights payment to the league, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to Awful Announcing. The Athletic first reported that the agreement ended because of missed rights payments.
