USA Ultimate Releases 49-Game Broadcast Schedule From U.S. Open Club Championships
Posted: August 1, 2017 10:45 AM
Colorado Springs, Colo. (August 1, 2017) – USA Ultimate media partners ESPN, Ultiworld and Fulcrum Media Group will combine to produce a total of 49 games from the U.S. Open Club Championships this week, 43 of them live.
USA Ultimate announced last month that the mixed division championship game will air live on ESPN2 Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. EDT, and that a women’s division semifinal doubleheader will air live on ESPN3 and the ESPN mobile app at 5:30 and 8:00 p.m. EDT Saturday night.
ESPN will also re-air the mixed division final at 7:00 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, August 8 on ESPNU, marking four hours of linear television coverage from the tournament.
ESPN will also broadcast one mixed division and one men’s division semifinal, plus both divisions’ title games live on ESPN3 and the ESPN mobile app.
All ESPN programming will also stream live in Canada on TSN GO.
Ultiworld returns to the U.S. Open this year to live stream several pool play games and provide tape-delayed coverage of a pair of semifinal matchups (men’s and mixed division) and the mixed division’s third-place game from the International Club Championships (ICC), as well as stream the U-20 boys championship game from the Youth Club Championships (YCC). All totaled, Ultiworld will cover nine games.
On top of the 17 games covered by longtime broadcast partners ESPN and Ultiworld, USA Ultimate is also proud to announce coverage of an additional 32 mixed and women’s division games, stemming from its original deal with Fulcrum Media Group. USA Ultimate announced in May a $50,000 investment in women’s and mixed division video content via a partnership with Fulcrum that included the eventual production of highlight reels, athlete and team profiles, Top-10 lists and more. Production was recently scaled up for the U.S. Open to include live streaming of 28 games from the ICC and YCC divisions, plus four tape-delayed broadcasts.
All of the Fulcrum-produced live content will stream on USA Ultimate’s Facebook page at facebook.com/usaultimate. Tape delayed content produced by Fulcrum will be available via USA Ultimate’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/usaultimate.
