Unlike men's #UNL, int'l media rights to #UWNL are NOT centralized by UEFA. A broker (IMG? Gravity Media?) consolidated rights to home matches for Belgium, England, France, Germany, Sweden & Spain & sold them to CBS/Paramount (USA), Disney/ESPN (Carib/LatAm/Brazil) & SuperSport (Sub-Saharan Africa)
