SportsEngine is still making deals while parent company Versant explores a sale.
SportsEngine Play has landed a multi-year streaming partnership with Hype Nation Volleyball Network.
The tournament organizer will operate close to 100 events in 50 cities across 24 states in 2026.
SportsEngine said it will stream over 20K matches as part of the deal; it will also handle registration and scheduling at all Hype Nation events.
The tie-up comes out of SportsEngine’s partnership with The Sports Facilities Companies; SFC is also a Hype Nation partner and many of the events will be at venues operated by SFC.
Quick Take: If Versant holds onto SportsEngine, volleyball figures to be a big reason why. The platform is a major player in the youth space and the Comcast cable network spinoff company recently struck a TV deal with LOVB.
