Last June, CBC/Radio-Canada announced a multi-year partnership with the NSL.

"We're a new product, a new league," league chief executive office and co-founder Diana Matheson told Heather Hiscox of CBC News Network at the time. "We're not coming in with a built-in fanbase, but we know upwards of 20 million Canadians are fans of women's sport in some capacity, and we have to get in front of eyeballs.
