CBSSports.com (formerly CBS SportsLine.com and SportsLine USA) is an American sports news website operated by Paramount Streaming, a division of Paramount Skydance Corporation. It is the website for CBS' Sports division featuring news, highlights, analysis, and fantasy sports.

In 1997, the service entered into a content-sharing partnership with Viacom. SportsLine also entered into agreements to operate official websites for the NCAA, NFL, and PGA Tour. The company later launched a co-branded website for CBS Sports (then owned by Viacom), CBSSportsLine

In August 2004, already holding a 38% stake in the company, Viacom announced that it would acquire the remainder of SportsLine in a deal valued at $46 million ($1.75 per-share) and re-align it with the CBS Sports division (owing to Viacom's ownership of CBS at the time). The company originally operated as a division of CBS Sports, reporting to its president Sean McManus.

CBSSports.com started producing fantasy sports games in 1997. In 1998, they partnered with Daedalus Worldwide Corporation, a producer of online fantasy sports products. In 1999, they acquired Daedalus Worldwide Corporation.

In August 2015, the SportsLine brand was revived for a new subscription-based site featuring statistics, sports betting and handicapping content. CBS continues to own the site.

Since 2006, the CBSSports.com commenced its Freshman of the Year award. The award is given yearly to the top college football newcomer.
