EverPass Media has expanded its portfolio of sports content through a new multi-year deal with ESPN that covers more than 2,200 ESPN+ live events each year from major leagues around the world.
With a deal now in place, EverPass will be able to market, sell and distribute ESPN+ to various commercial businesses in the U.S., including bars, restaurants, and hotels.
Live ESPN+ events covered by the deal include:
- College football and basketball from the SEC, Big 12, ACC, Big East, conference tournaments, and more;
- Top-tier international soccer from LALIGA, Bundesliga, the FA Cup and Copa del Rey;
- Around 50 ESPN+ exclusive regular season NHL games;
- UFC Fight Nights, including select preliminary fights and main cards through the end of 2025;
- PGA TOUR LIVE events;
- Select coverage of major tennis tournaments, including the U.S. Open and Wimbledon; and
- Select coverage of cricket tours in the West Indies and New Zealand, NLL and PLL lacrosse games and other niche sporting events.
EverPass plans to begin offering ESPN+ to customers starting in October, and ESPN+ will be sold as a separate package to existing and new EverPass customers.
“This is an important step forward for EverPass and the commercial marketplace,” said Alex Kaplan, CEO of EverPass Media. “Working with ESPN, one of the most iconic brands in global sports, brings year-round streaming content to bars, restaurants, hotels and other venues. With access to premium content from the NFL, NHL, NCAA, PGA TOUR, soccer and more, ESPN+ adds tremendous value to our platform and to the businesses we serve.”
The deal with ESPN follows similar commercial distribution deals EverPass has agreed with the NFL for NFL Sunday Ticket, Peacock Sports Pass, Prime Video for Thursday Night Football, and Paramount+, among others.
