2026

Champions League

The problem

The World Cup brings a summer of new fans. By September, most of them are gone.

Paramount+ needed the 2026 World Cup’s energy turned into recurring Champions League viewership in America.

What we built

A creative toolkit that bends use cases to meet new and core viewers where they scroll.

The result

September 2026: the Champions League opened with its biggest Matchday 1 viewership yet, matching knockout-stage levels.
