CW Network, a privately owned entity headquartered in the US, functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. Founded in 2006, the company operates with approximately 340 employees and reported $385.7M in revenue as of 2023. The company specializes in broadcast television and radio, specifically operating as an American English-language commercial broadcast television network.
The CW Network will broadcast the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA 2026 competitions as their exclusive partner, with Miss Teen USA airing live on Wednesday, August 26, and the Miss USA 75th Diamond Celebration on Thursday, August 27. This announcement on June 24 followed the network's multi-year deal with BDE Miss USA, the new owner of the competitions, to air both events in August, marking their return after the network did not broadcast them last year due to prior ownership changes. Earlier, on June 9, a CW network executive stated the company's satisfaction with its 2026 PBA Tour coverage, expressing optimism for 2027 and openness to expanding the multi-year deal. Previously, on April 30, The CW Network and WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings, announced a multi-year deal for all NXT Premium Live Events (PLEs) to air exclusively on The CW, beginning with The Great American Bash later this summer. This agreement includes broadcasting 20 PLEs live on both coasts over the next several years, including Stand and Deliver, Deadline, and Vengeance Day.
CW Network currently holds 9 broadcasting rights for sports competitions including bowls, athletics, bull riding and rodeo, multi-sport, professional wrestling, beach volleyball, motorsports and american football.
