===Foreign coverage=== In 2013, the CFL announced that its U.S. broadcast rights would return to the [[ESPN Inc.|ESPN Networks]] for the 2013 season, with five games airing on [[ESPN2]], and 55 airing on [[ESPN3]].<ref>Stoneberg, Allison. (June 26, 2013) [https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2013/06/espn-to-deliver-60-live-canadian-football-league-games/ ESPN to Deliver 60 Live Canadian Football League Games]. ESPN Press Room Retrieved on May 21, 2022.</ref> This agreement was renewed in 2014 for five years, the same length as the TSN deal (ESPN holds a stake in TSN), with a stipulation that at least 17 games would be carried on ESPN2 (or another ESPN network, such as [[ESPN]] or [[ESPNEWS]]) each season, including the Grey Cup; this gives ESPN exclusive CFL rights during this time frame. Originally [[ESPN3]] carried all games not carried on one of the linear channels online, later ESPN moved those games to [[ESPN+]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cfl.ca/article/espn-cfl-reach-multi-year-us-broadcast-deal |title=ESPN & CFL reach multi-year US broadcast deal |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016093857/http://www.cfl.ca/article/espn-cfl-reach-multi-year-us-broadcast-deal |archivedate=October 16, 2015 |website=CFL.ca |date=June 27, 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story?id=455858|title=CFL, ESPN reach agreement on five-year broadcast deal|date=June 27, 2014|agency=Canadian Press|work=TSN|access-date=August 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140816230744/http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=455858|archive-date=August 16, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="espnpressroomjune2014">{{cite web|url=https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2014/06/espn-secures-exclusive-u-s-rights-to-canadian-football-league-games/|title=ESPN Secures Exclusive U.S. Rights to Canadian Football League Games|first=Derek |last=Volner|work=ESPN Press Room|access-date=May 21, 2022|date=June 27, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://press.cfl.ca/espn-and-cfl-announce-entire-2018-season-broadcast-schedule|title=ALL 2018 CFL GAMES TO AIR ON ESPN NETWORKS AND ESPN+|access-date=August 17, 2018}}</ref> ESPN has had a long relationship with the CFL; the channel broadcast its first CFL game on July 9, 1980, when the network was only 10 months old.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espnfrontrow.com/2015/06/tbt-berman-laplaca-recall-vintage-cfl-wingo-explains-todays-three-down-football/ |title=#TBT: Berman, LaPlaca Recall Vintage CFL; Wingo Explains Today's Three-Down Football |last=Skarka |first=Mike |publisher=ESPN Front Row |date=June 25, 2015 |website=Encyclopedia of Things |access-date=August 6, 2018}}</ref> On April 27, 2023, [[CBS Sports Network]] announced a multi-year broadcasting rights deal with the league, becoming the U.S. TV rightsholder to the league; the channel broadcast 34 CFL games during the first three months of the 2023 season.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cfl.ca/2023/04/27/new-this-season-the-cfl-on-cbs-sports-network/ |title=New This Season: The CFL On CBS Sports Network |date=April 27, 2023 |website=CFL.ca |publisher=Canadian Football League |access-date=May 18, 2023}}</ref> CBSSN's 2024 broadcast package consisted of the majority of June, July, and August games, and the [[Labour Day Classic|Labour Day]] and [[Thanksgiving Day Classic|Thanksgiving Day]] Classics.
