Pluto TV and All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN) announced Monday the global TV network dedicated to women’s sports has launched exclusively on Pluto TV in Canada, the U.K. and the Nordics, with a simultaneous debut on the platform in the United States.
Featuring a 24/7 linear stream, AWSN’s free, ad-supported Pluto TV channel promises to deliver more than 2,500 hours of live women’s sports annually plus a robust offering of on-demand programming.
Viewers will have access to premier women’s competitions and leagues such as: Athletes Unlimited Softball League; FIBA 3×3; FIBA 3XBA (a 3×3 basketball series featuring standout WNBA and NCAA talent); WNBL Basketball; H1 Field Hockey; WFA Tackle Football; ECC-W, Women’s European Cricket Championship; DGPT Pro Disc Golf Tour; WFTDA-sanctioned Roller Derby; and Women’s Football Weekly, featuring the latest highlights from Serie A Women (Italy), Frauen-Bundesliga (Germany), Division 1 Féminine (French Premier League); and the Barclays Women’s Championship.
AWSN was co-founded by actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg and Jungo TV to provide a platform for women athletes to be seen, celebrated and supported, a Pluto TV press release said.
“I’m excited to see AWSN grow and reach audiences across the U.S. and new global markets through Pluto TV,” Goldberg said in the press release. “For far too long, incredible women athletes have been competing at the highest levels without the recognition they deserve. AWSN is here to change that. It’s not just a network — it’s a platform that turns visibility into opportunity, where ambition and performance take center stage, and where young girls and women can see themselves reflected in the power and potential of elite competition.”
“This is a new era for women’s sports, and the appetite for this content is increasing across the globe. Sharing the mission to spotlight and uplift these incredible women’s sports and the extraordinary athletes who compete in multiple leagues with AWSN is a testament to our commitment to delivering compelling, diverse content that feeds fandom and gives space to all sports,” said Katrina Kowalski, senior vice president of international content strategy and acquisitions at Pluto TV. “With AWSN, we’re empowering our viewers to witness the talent, intensity, and passion of women’s sports like never before.”
