Stadium

Stadium is a sports channel launched in August 2017 as a digital-first national sports network, built around college athletics and the middle tier of American sports. Its schedule has featured live college games across multiple conferences, studio analysis shows, and coverage of sports that rarely crack the major networks, produced with a streaming-native sensibility from its Chicago operation. The service pioneered free digital distribution of national sports programming and continues on streaming platforms after its over-the-air chapter. Stadium's official website, watchstadium.com, publishes the schedule and viewing information. Its model influenced how sports media thinks about free streaming distribution.
