WBSC, AWSN Announce Major Global Broadcast Deal for Women’s Softball and Baseball World Cups

June 12, 2026

The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) and the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN) have announced a major multi-year broadcast partnership that will deliver live global television coverage of both the Women’s Softball World Cup and the Women’s Baseball World Cup. This unprecedented deal ensures these flagship international tournaments will reach worldwide audiences, significantly expanding visibility for women’s softball and baseball.

The partnership marks a pivotal moment for women’s sports, as it guarantees sustained live coverage of these world cups across multiple years rather than limited or regional broadcasting. AWSN will provide the global television distribution, bringing the competitions to viewers who previously had difficult access to live coverage of these elite-level events.

This broadcast agreement aligns with the growing momentum for women’s softball and baseball, particularly as both sports continue their journey toward Olympic prominence with Los Angeles 2028 in view. The 2026 Women’s Softball World Cup Group Stage is already scheduled across multiple international locations including Prague, Lima, and Oklahoma City, with 18 teams participating in the qualification pathway.
