CBC Sports to broadcast and stream 2020 swim season


TORONTO – CBC Sports and the International Swimming League (ISL) today announced a new partnership agreement to provide broadcast and streaming coverage of the ISL 2020 regular season, semi-finals and final.

CBC Sports will stream every match on cbcsports.ca, the CBC Sports app for iOS and Android, provide broadcast coverage of select events on Road to the Olympic Games on CBC and the free CBC Gem streaming service.

This year, 10 teams from around the world will battle for the championship title, including the Toronto Titans who will be representing Canada for the first time.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing this exciting competition to audiences across Canada who will be able to cheer on their favourite athletes as they compete against the best swimmers in the world,” said Chris Wilson, executive director, sports and Olympics, CBC. “With less than a year until the Tokyo Olympic Games, the new Canadian team allows us to further showcase the incredible athletes representing our country and offers fans more opportunities to connect with the sport.”
