    About

    CBS Sports is the sports broadcasting division of Paramount Skydance's CBS Entertainment Group. It is responsible for telecasting sporting events across the CBS Television Network and the Paramount+ streaming service. The division also operates the cable channel CBS Sports Network and the 24/7 streaming sports news channel, CBS Sports HQ. Headquartered in New York City, CBS Sports has been a significant presence in American sports media since its inception.

    Founded on April 11, 1955, CBS Sports has evolved significantly over the decades, adapting to new technologies and expanding its reach. The network has historically broadcast major sporting events, including the NFL, college football, and college basketball. A notable innovation was its "March Madness on Demand" service, which received an Emmy Award for its interactive features that enhanced the viewing experience of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

    In recent developments, CBS Sports has been involved in significant industry shifts. A planned merger with TNT Sports was announced on April 2, 2026, contingent on Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. This potential union could reshape the competitive landscape of sports broadcasting.
