Whoopi Goldberg Co-Founded All Women’s Sports Network, Pluto TV Launch FAST Channel

All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN), a global sports TV network dedicated to women’s sports that was co-founded by Whoopi Goldberg and Jungo TV, and Paramount Global’s free, advertising-supported streaming TV (FAST) service Pluto TV unveiled a global content partnership Monday.

The goal is “to make women’s sports freely accessible to viewers globally” via a FAST channel, which has now launched in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and the Nordics.

“AWSN’s dedicated Pluto TV channel is set to feature a dedicated 24/7 linear stream, including over 2,500 hours of live women’s sports annually and a robust offering of on-demand programming,” the partners said. “Viewers will gain access to premier competitions and leagues, such as Athletes Unlimited Softball League; FIBA 3×3; FIBA 3XBA (a 3×3 basketball series featuring 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 Italy, Bundesliga, Division I Féminine (French Premier League); and the Barclays Women’s Championship.”

The channel and all AWSN content are exclusively available on Pluto TV across Canada, the U.K. and the Nordics. Starting this month, AWSN also airs Suncorp Super Netball from Australia.

“I’m excited to see AWSN grow and reach audiences across the U.S. and new global markets through Pluto TV,” said Goldberg. “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.”

Said Katrina Kowalski, senior vp international content strategy & acquisitions at Pluto TV: “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 sport 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.”

George Chung, co-founder and CEO of AWSN and Jungo TV, also lauded the deal. “This is about access, visibility and changing the game,” he said. “Together, we’re bringing fans the biggest stage yet for live women’s sports, all at no cost.”
