Soccer on CBS during soap slots in USA western timeslots.
 
February 2023 (and probably March also)
the "UEFA Champions League" (European soccer tournament)
will air on CBS broadcast television.

Tues. Feb. 14, Wed. Feb. 15 – airs on both CBS broadcast TV and Paramount Plus.
Tues. Feb. 21, Wed. Feb. 22 – airs on both CBS broadcast TV and Paramount Plus.
These dates are all "Round of 16, First Leg" of the tournament.

Tues. March 7, Wed. March 8 – airs on both CBS broadcast TV and Paramount Plus.
These dates are "Round of 16, Second Leg" of the tournament.

This impacts CBS soaps (but not in all timezones) and only in the USA.
In some markets Y&R will be affected, in some B&B, in some both soaps.
This affects the Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, and Hawaii timezones.

Canada is unaffected. Y&R and B&B will air on Global and CTV at normal times in all Canada timezones.

CBS live soccer coverage
Pre-game show 2:00-3:00 PM EST
Soccer match 3:00-5:00 PM EST
Total of three hours of live programming.

(2pm-5pm EST)
(1pm-4pm CST)
(Noon-3pm MST)
(11am-2pm PST)
(10am-1pm AKST Alaska)
(9am-noon HST Hawaii)

What this means:  One or both soaps might not air in western timezones,
but the soap(s) will still air on CBS stations on the east coast.  
In some cities, one or both soaps will air on broadcast TV
at a special time, earlier or later in the day, or overnight.

So it won't be counted as a "full preemption" and the episodes will be uploaded online.
Be sure to check cbs.com if it doesn't air in your city.

Additional soccer matches scheduled in March, but not yet announced how CBS/Paramount will cover these.
These dates are all "Round of 16, Second Leg."
Tues. March 7, Wed. March 8 – See post later in this thread for details.
Tues. March 14, Wed. March 15 – airing not yet announced but it was only Pplus only last year.

@Errol  fyi to all of the above

This is similar to what happened in February and March of 2022.
No announcement from the soaps.  We learned about it only by seeing the listings in the cable guide, and then verifying what was happening.

In 2022, a few dates in April were also affected. We'll see what happens in 2023.

@Errol @Toups I don't know how these schedule disruptions in western timezones affect the CBS soaps ratings.

This article compares the number of viewers of these matches with last year,
but I don't pretend to understand what it means:

^ I'm really glad the ratings for soccer have been pretty horrific - like under 900K per match and 300K for demo in Feb and March! No idea why CBS, which is not a traditional soccer network, would pay for the rights to games that aren't of interest in US and air on weekday afternoon. I get airing these matching on Paramount+, but the main network is simply not the forum. You'd think CBS would've figured that out by now.
