Division III will livestream over 500 more games from the 2025 winter and spring championships free to fans on ncaa.com via Hudl. This partnership aims to enhance the visibility and accessibility of Division III championships.
"Hudl is proud to continue our partnership with Division III, ensuring that every fan, family member and supporter has seamless access to these incredible championship events," said Mark Krug, senior director at Hudl. "The commitment to livestreaming every team championship round aligns with our vision of making sports more accessible and engaging for all, and we're excited to help shine a brighter spotlight on Division III student-athletes."
Every game from the Division III Men's and Women's Basketball Championships (through the sectionals) and the Division III Men's and Women's Ice Hockey Championships will be livestreamed on ncaa.com. For the spring season, the baseball, softball, men's volleyball and men's and women's lacrosse championships will be livestreamed on ncaa.com. Every Division III game will be available at ncaa.com/champs-pass and by using the NCAA Championships Pass app for Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and Android TV devices.
The men's and women's basketball semifinals and championship games will be broadcast on ESPN+ this year. As in prior years, the Division III men's and women's swimming and diving, men's wrestling, men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field, men's and women's tennis, and rowing championships will be livestreamed on ncaa.com.
During the 2024 Division III fall championships, viewers watched a combined 11.5 million minutes of live content, a significant increase over prior fall seasons.
This agreement for the winter and spring championships marks a significant step forward in providing comprehensive coverage and greater exposure for Division III, ensuring fans can support their favorite teams and student-athletes from anywhere. It also aligns with a strategic priority of Division III, which implemented a requirement this year that all team hosts must livestream every round of team championships.
"This strategic partnership is enhancing the division's brand by providing seamless and free access to every round of our team championships. This initiative presents a unique opportunity to highlight the extraordinary talents of our student-athletes and the rich diversity of our institutions and conferences to a broader audience. Building on the impressive viewership data from the fall, we confidently anticipate a surge in audience engagement for our upcoming championships," said Louise McCleary, vice president of Division III.
