Sports-streaming service FloSports has reached an agreement with international sports broadcaster Eleven Sports to distribute a programming feed of a range of events to its subscribers in the United States.
FloSports said its partnership with Eleven Sports US is a first-of-its-kind arrangement, through which it will hold exclusive digital-only rights to nearly 500 live events over the next 12 months.
Content will be available to FloSports subscribers on sites such as FloHoops, FloWrestling, FloHockey, FloSoftball, FloTrack, FloFootball, FloCombat, FloRugby, FloBikes, FloGrappling and FloVolleyball.
Coverage will include New Mexico State Aggies American football games, men’s basketball games from the Big Sky Conference and the World Judo Championships.
Mike Levy, FloSports’ senior vice-president of global rights acquisition, said: “This deal with Eleven Sports reflects a new sports media order where linear and digital sports distributors work together to best serve sports fandom.”
