Coverage continues on Sunday at noon on CBS Sports Network, with the London Roar, DC Trident, Aqua Centurions, and Iron teams. In all, two hours are scheduled to be presented on CBS Television Network, 32 on CBS Sports Network and 18 across CBS Sports Digital platforms. The depth and breadth of this coverage across various ViacomCBS platforms gives the ISL unprecedented exposure to U.S. swimming fans," said ISL Founder and Chairman Konstantin Grigorishin. "The live broadcasts with top-level commentators reflect the world-class quality of the league and we couldn't be more pleased with the final schedule." CBS Sports Digital will also stream a show hosted by Jenny Drummond. Top U.S. and international swimming stars will also appear as part of the coverage. The five-week ISL schedule will take place at Duna Arena in Budapest. A strict medical protocol will be in place to ensure safety for competitors and working staff. The 2020 ISL season is the only major competition to feature the world's best swimmers prior to the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. Athletes scheduled to appear include 2019 ISL League MVP, holder of 14 World Records and Olympic Gold Medalist, Sarah Sjöström, and 2019 ISL Finals MVP, holder of nine World Records, and Olympic Gold Medalist, Caeleb Dressel.
