U Sports, Canada’s governing body for university athletics, announced Monday an agreement with CBC Sports that will see the public broadcaster become the exclusive English-language digital home of national championships through the 2024-25 season.
“CBC Sports is Canada’s Olympic network and has an impressive repertoire of high-performance sport coverage on its digital platforms,” said John Bower (BA 1998), U Sports director of marketing and communications. “U Sports look forward to growing our audience with CBC so that the performances and stories of our student-athletes reach the widest possible audience.”
CBC will also be the English television home of the 2021 Vanier Cup, Dec. 4 at Université Laval.
