Arena Football League To Live-Stream Five Games on Twitter
Story Highlights
The Arena Football League will live stream five regular season games in 2017 on Twitter. The games will be available globally to logged-in and logged-out users on Twitter and connected devices. Fans can access the live stream via afl.twitter.com or on @AFLarenaball.
“Entering into this relationship with Twitter is a significant development in expanding the Arena Football League’s digital platform,” AFL Commissioner Scott Butera says. “With over 300 million Twitter users worldwide, we believe they will enjoy the nonstop, edge of your seat AFL action and have many opportunities to network with players, coaches and other fans in what is the nation’s most interactive sport. In addition to working with Twitter, the AFL has also grown its digital presence with a new website, an app available on iOS and Android platforms, streaming live games on AFLNow and a bi-weekly podcast.”
“We are thrilled to partner with the Arena Football League to bring their exciting brand of live football to fans globally on Twitter,” says Anthony Noto, Twitter COO. “AFL fans can now watch live games anywhere in the world on the same platform where the AFL conversation is already happening.”
With this collaboration, the AFL continues to build on its OTT and digital presence. In conjunction with Sportsrocket, the AFL is already able to live stream the games on Twitter in addition to providing real-time highlights to fans on Twitter.
