The National Women’s Soccer League has announced that go90 will be their streaming partner, replacing YouTube. The deal means that every NWSL match that isn’t part of the Lifetime Game of the Week package will be available for both live streaming and on demand from the go90 mobile app and go90.com. International viewers will be able to find games on NWSLsoccer.com and on the NWSL app (currently iOS only).
While the Lifetime games being available for both live and on demand streaming via the Lifetime app or at MyLifetime.com, questions remained about how the league planned to stream the other 98 games on the schedule. News started to trickle out yesterday that go90 would be the solution:
Looks like @NWSL matches streamed on @go90 will be able to be cast to other devices (TVs) using Chromecast and Apple TV/Airplay. https://t.co/cTw8ygOBs0
