COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – December 19, 2017 — The Mountain West (MW) announced today that it is partnering with FloSports to bring live and on-demand coverage of three MW Championships to fans worldwide via FloSports’ sport-specific subscription channels.
The three MW Championship events that will be aired exclusively by FloSports are the 2018 Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships (Feb. 14-17 in San Antonio) on FloSwimming.com, as well as the 2018 Men’s & Women’s Indoor Track & Field Championships (Feb. 22-24 in Albuquerque) and the 2018 Men’s & Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Championships (May 9-12 in Fresno) on FloTrack.com.

FloSports has a growing presence in intercollegiate athletics and partners with leagues, governing bodies, broadcast networks and event promoters to bring live and on-demand sports content to fans worldwide. Earlier this year, FloSports streamed the NCAA Division I, Division II and Division III Men’s and Women’s Cross Country National Championships. FloSports also provides live and on-demand coverage of more than 1,000 non-televised Big Ten Conference events annually, as well as live events from the Big 12 Conference and other intercollegiate competitions.
“We are continually exploring new and different ways to deliver live content to fans of the Mountain West while expanding the profile and visibility of our member institutions,” MW Deputy Commissioner Bret Gilliland said. “This new partnership with FloSports is another exciting step forward, particularly given the audience base FloSports has built through its sport-specific vertical platforms in swimming & diving and track & field.”
“We look forward to showcasing some of the top student-athletes in the nation to our worldwide communities in track & field and swimming & diving,” FloSports SVP Global Rights Acquisition & Subscription Phil Wendler said. “Expanding our partnership with the Mountain West will bring significant additions to our winter and spring programming.”
