Streaming platform Free Live Sports has launched with a selection of 100+ live FAST (free, ad-supported TV) sports channels as well as rights to thousands of sports movies, docs, series and highlights.
Free Live Sports launches with 68 channels, and another 34 are set to join the platform by the end of October. Sports channels offered include ACCDN, Big 12 Network, Willow Sports, Glory Kickboxing, PFL, Boxing TV, Mike Tyson TV, Motorsport.tv, MAVTV, MotoAmerica, PokerGo, Tennis Channel, Court Sports Network, Powder, Surfer, NitroCircus TV, Teton Gravity, World of Free Sports, CampusLore, Origin Sports, Billiard TV, Cornhole TV, ChessTV, Wired2Fish, Horse and Country, TNA Wrestling; Strongman Champions League, ChessTV, Perfect Game, BLEAV, SportsGrid Live, Outdoor America and Pursuit Up.
Programming on those channels feature soccer, motorsports, MMA, fishing, poker, eSports, billiards, cricket, college sports, boxing, cornhole and other pursuits.
The launch was announced by co-founders and partners Cathy Rasenberger (Rasenberger Media, LLC), Geoff Clark (acTVe) and Ryan James and James Patrick of OTT Studio, LLC. Together, they’ve formed the joint venture Sports Studio, Inc., and recently acquired the UK-based Sports Tribal platform. The partners are utilizing that EU-centered free sports streaming platform to build Free Live Sports.
“From the outset, we are providing fans with the opportunity to experience their favorite sports and competitions,” Rasenberger, James, Patrick and Clark said in a joint statement. “With our combined expertise in launching, marketing, operating, and optimizing cable and streaming channels and OTT apps, we are rapidly establishing ourselves as the primary FAST destination for millions of passionate sports fans.”
The platform is currently available in more than 75 countries, with new app launches on Roku and Fire TV. Android, VIZIO, IOS, tvOS and other platforms will be launching soon, they said.
“Our fans-first focus is why we are looking forward to partnerships with major sports leagues in the U.S. that already have, or are developing, their own branded FAST channels,” the partners added. “Free Live Sports can help them broaden their reach and attract new fans within our rapidly growing user base.”
