Free Live Sports (FLS), a newly launched streaming platform, offers over 100 live FAST sports channels along with rights to a vast library of thousands of sports films, documentaries, series, and highlights. At launch, the platform provides access to 68 channels, with an additional 34 channels expected to be available by the end of October.

The platform offers a variety of programming, including soccer, motorsports, MMA, fishing, poker, eSports, billiards, cricket, college sports, boxing, cornhole, and more. Among the channels featured on FLS are ACCDN, Big 12 Network, Willow Sports, Glory Kickboxing, PFL, Boxing TV, Mike Tyson TV, Motorsport.tv, MAVTV, MotoAmerica, PokerGo, Tennis Channel, Court Sports Network, Powder, Surfer, NitroCircus TV, Teton Gravity, World of Free Sports, CampusLore, Origin Sports, Billiard TV, Cornhole TV, ChessTV, Wired2Fish, Horse and Country, TNA Wrestling, Strongman Champions League, ChessTV, Perfect Game, BLEAV, SportsGrid Live, Outdoor America, and Pursuit Up.

The launch was led by co-founders and partners Cathy Rasenberger (Rasenberger Media, LLC), Geoff Clark (acTVe), and Ryan James and James Patrick of OTT Studio, LLC. Together, they formed the joint venture Sports Studio, Inc., which recently acquired the UK-based platform Sports Tribal. The partners aim to leverage the European-focused free sports streaming platform to help develop Free Live Sports.

“From the outset, we are providing fans with the opportunity to experience their favorite sports and competitions,” Rasenberger, James, Patrick, and Clark said in a joint statement. “With our combined expertise in launching, marketing, operating, and optimizing cable and streaming channels and OTT apps, we are rapidly establishing ourselves as the primary FAST destination for millions of passionate sports fans.”

Currently, the platform is accessible in over 75 countries, with app launches on Roku and Fire TV. Upcoming releases for Android, VIZIO, iOS, tvOS, and other platforms are planned, according to the partners.

“Our fans-first focus is why we are looking forward to partnerships with major sports leagues in the U.S. that already have, or are developing, their own branded FAST channels,” the partners added. “Free Live Sports can help them broaden their reach and attract new fans within our rapidly growing user base.”
