AUSTIN, Tex. -- The Landmark Conference has announced it will become the first Division III Conference to sign a multi-year agreement with leading sports streaming service and original content provider, FloSports, beginning with the 2023-24 academic year. The Landmark is also believed to be the first conference in Division III to sign a media rights agreement of any kind, marking a significant achievement for the league.
"I am excited to officially begin our partnership with FloSports. They have proven to be a leader in the athletic streaming space and I am confident they will be a valued partner as the Landmark shifts to their platform. Even in these early stages of our partnership, they have shown a commitment to our conference and individual institutions to enhance our current streams and continue to build the Landmark brand," Landmark Conference Commissioner Katie Boldvich said. "This partnership puts our institutions and student-athletes on the national stage and I am thrilled the Landmark is now a partner among several other NCAA conferences across the country."
Under the deal, FloSports will become the digital platform provider of the Landmark Digital Network, which will see it stream all live and on-demand Landmark events, including the league's 23 championships. The partnership will allow the Landmark to expand its exposure to a global audience while building a stronger relationship with its fans.
"FloSports is thrilled to partner with the Landmark Conference. Division III is a logical next step for FloSports as we invest in the comprehensive destination for NCAA conferences, colleges, and student-athletes," Kolby Paxton, Senior Manager, Global Rights Acquisition at FloSports said. "Throughout the term, FloSports will not only distribute thousands of Landmark Conference games live, but curate fandom via breaking news, highlights, editorial storytelling, and analysis. Finally, NCAA properties, regardless of divisional affiliations, have a home."
The Landmark partnership furthers FloSports' efforts to strengthen its NCAA offering with a transformative digital platform.
