On March 28, 2019, the Canadian Premier League and the Canadian Soccer Association announced the creation of Canadian Soccer Business (CSB), an organization "representing commercial assets and inventory for marquee soccer properties in Canada", including "all corporate partnerships and broadcast rights related to Canada Soccer's core assets including its national teams, along with all rights associated with the CPL".[1] On February 21, 2019, it announced a 10-year agreement with Mediapro, under which it holds all media rights associated with Canada Soccer, including rights to the Canadian Premier League, the Canadian Championship, and rights to national team matches.[2] In April, Mediapro announced that its rights would be housed in a new subscription service known as OneSoccer,[3][4] which launched as an online-only live and on-demand subscription service through its website on April 26, 2019, with its first live match airing the next day.[5]
In August 2019, OneSoccer acquired rights to the 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League season.[6] In January 2020, OneSoccer acquired exclusive Canadian rights to various CONCACAF championships through 2023, including the CONCACAF Gold Cup.[7][8]
In September 2021, Mediapro Canada announced OneSoccer's first third-party launch of the service via FuboTV's streaming package in Canada.[9] Later that month, Mediapro Canada announced that it had reached its first deal for carriage of OneSoccer as a linear television channel, with Telus TV.[10]
On August 5, 2022, OneSoccer filed a complaint with the CRTC against Rogers Communications, alleging that Rogers refused to carry OneSoccer in order to protect its own Sportsnet service from competition.[11] On March 23, 2023, The CRTC found that Rogers had indeed given undue preference to Sportsnet, as well as other independent broadcasters BeIN Sports and EuroWorld Sport.[12][13]
In January 2024, five years into the ten-year agreement, CSB retracted the rights after a dispute, leaving the service's future in jeopardy.[14]
