FloSports adds NLL's global streaming rights, creates dedicated FloLacrosse channel. 10.15.2026 FloSports has secured global streaming rights for the National Lacrosse League in a multiyear deal that will also see the platform launch a dedicated FloLacrosse channel starting Nov. 5. That will be the company's first new channel since the launch of FloCollege in 2024. The NLL deal comes ahead of the indoor league's 40th anniversary season and will include game previews, highlights and wrap-ups to complement the live coverage in a dedicated content hub. The league used Octagon as a media rights advisor, with NLL Commissioner Brett Frood and EVP/Broadcast & Media Joel Feld intimately involved. FloSports EVP/Global Rights Acquisition Phil Wendler led the platform's negotiations. The NLL was previously on ESPN in the U.S. There also remains the opportunity for a future linear NLL TV deal in the U.S. In Canada, incumbent linear partner TSN will remain in the fold with a game of the week and playoff coverage. "FloSports is launching FloLacrosse with the NLL and box lacrosse as its foundation, investing every day in the stories and players who turn new viewers into lifelong fans. It's a partner that respects our roots and believes in our future as much as we do," said Frood. FloSports will also look to take advantage of its FAST channel, and will stream an "NLL Saturday Showcase" game, as well as the 2027 NLL Finals, on the FloSports Channel, which can be found on found on Prime Video, YouTube and LG Channels. For FloSports, it's the latest league win after striking a deal a few weeks ago to become part of the mix for the NHRA starting in 2027. The company also got deeper into hockey over the summer, getting U.S. rights to the IIHF Men's World Championship beginning in 2027. "We're not trying to go in and compete with folks for Tier 1 rights, because the bigger players in the world do a tremendous job," said Wendler. "But there's a lot of non-Tier 1 partners that just aren't getting the love they deserve." Building out a sport Lacrosse isn't new to FloSports, which recently celebrated its 20th year of operation. The platform aired over 1,500 games last year, and is pacing for close to 2,000 this year. Those games over-indexed on the platform, and that gave the company the confidence to launch the new dedicated vertical. FloLacrosse will now offer a mix of pro, college, high school and amateur events. "Because with our investment with NLL, if it doesn't grow, we are not going to be successful," said Wendler. "We're putting our money where our mouth is, we're putting our resources where our mouth is and we're going to build a whole portfolio around it to grow around that."
