EGOT winner Whoopi Goldberg has teamed up with international streaming media company JungoTV to launch All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN). It is the first global media channel dedicated exclusively to showcasing women’s sports.
AWSN is available on VIZIO WatchFree+ channel 1367 in the United States. It is also available in 65 countries, including India and Saudi Arabia, and will offer live women’s sports matches and games featuring some of the biggest leagues in the world, such as Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), International Basketball Federation (FIBA), and Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL).

“The world is finally recognizing the incredible female athletes who have always been here but were not given the exposure they deserved. Bringing these athletes, teams, and leagues to over 2 billion people is historical,” Goldberg said in a statement. “AWSN is a channel where girls and women can see themselves, where aspiration is transformed into performance, and competitiveness is celebrated. Because ‘When She Wins, We Win’.”
“Our goal is to have the largest distributed female sports network in the world, digital or broadcast.”
The programming starts Nov. 13 and will air 2000 hours of live, first-run sports in 2024/2025. The channel launched with live WNBL basketball and Hockey One League women’s games. The network will also air FIBA 3×3 Marseille finals and OBOS Damallsvenskan women’s football (soccer) matches.
“The opportunity to bring dedicated coverage of women’s sports to a global audience is long overdue,” said George Chung, Co-Founder of AWSN and JungoTV CEO. “Women’s athletics has grown exponentially, and there hasn’t been a single platform committed to showcasing these incredible stories, athletes, and events year-round. With this new network, we are proud to give women’s sports the visibility they deserve, creating a space where fans can engage with the athletes and teams they love.”
