Expanding Its Presence: Women's Sports Network Seals Deal with Samsung TV Plus
Women's Sports Network Partners with Samsung TV Plus to Stream League One Volleyball
The Women's Sports Network (WSN) has made a significant move in the world of sports broadcasting, partnering with Samsung TV Plus to bring League One Volleyball (LOVB) to a wider audience.
This collaboration, according to FAST Studios' CEO Stuart McLean, is a milestone moment. McLean stated that the goal of WSN was to use the reach of FAST services to super-serve the previously untapped audience for women's sports.
WSN, known for its unparalleled depth of storytelling around women's sports, has inked a deal to be the official FAST partner of LOVB. The streaming will begin when the inaugural regular season of LOVB starts next month.
The partnership will see WSN streaming 16 LOVB pro volleyball matches exclusively on Samsung TV Plus. This is a significant boost for the growing popularity of women's sports, as highlighted by McLean.
Sarah Nelson, head of business development and strategic partnerships at Samsung TV Plus, expressed her company's belief in the power of women's sports. Nelson stated that Samsung TV Plus is proud to partner with WSN to showcase League One Volleyball.
WSN is available via various platforms including Roku, Amazon Sports, MyFree DirecTV, LG Channels on LG Smart TVs, Vizio WatchFree+, TCLtv+, Tablo, Tubi, FuboTV and Plex. The network offers more than 1,000 hours of women's sports programming, including exclusive live games, extensive regular season and post-season coverage, athlete interviews and original productions.
This partnership marks an expansion of WSN's distribution, which now includes Samsung TV Plus. The network celebrated its third anniversary in January 2025, and has already garnered more than 10 league partnerships.
More information about the network can be found on its website. FAST Studios' CEO Stuart McLean stated that the partnership between WSN and LOVB will bring fans closer to the action, passion, and energy of the sport.
This partnership is expected to break barriers to access through constant live game coverage, spotlighting athletes, and supporting leagues. It's an exciting time for women's sports, and with this partnership, more fans than ever will be able to tune in and enjoy the action.
