Canadian Soccer Business and Mediapro have settled their legal differences with an agreement that will see the two parties go their separate ways at the end of the year.Canadian Soccer Business and Mediapro have settled their legal differences with an agreement that will see the two parties go their separate ways at the end of the year.
On one side was Canadian Soccer Business, whose investor group and board includes the Canadian Premier League owners. CSB looks after marketing and broadcast rights for both the CPL, now in its sixth season, and Canada Soccer. “We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Mediapro in the best interest of soccer in Canada,” said Mark Noonan, who doubles as CSB CEO and CPL commissioner. “With the 2026 FIFA World Cup less than two years away, this settlement will allow us to continue delivering the best Canadian soccer content to fans from coast to coast as we build toward the biggest sporting event on the planet.
In a five-page notice of action in January, CSB alleged Mediapro had reneged on its payments and “improperly repudiated” their agreement covering media rights and production, broadcast and distribution. In a separate 32-page statement of claim, Mediapro alleged CSB had not lived up to its promises, saying that halfway through the agreement CSB has delivered just over a quarter of the number of required matches .
